Fixed that schedulers, which are not attached to an object, after
garbage collect were removed also from the scheduler dispatcher. The
scheduler dispatcher now attaches the schedulers to 2 different tables.
- A weak table ObjectSchedulers, which contains scheduler attached to
objects. When the object is removed, the scheduler is removed also.
- A weak table with PersistentSchedulers, which contains schedulers not
attached to objects. These schedulers are persistent, even after garbage
collection.
I hope this now makes the circle round...
The references of nillified and garbage collected SCHEDULERS are removed
from the _TIMERDISPATCHER. This results now in schedules that are still
pending to be executed, but are nillified, that these schedules will
never be executed!!!

So, when the Scheduler that is passed to the AddScheduler is nillified,
the internal arrays that keep the Scheduler reference are also
nillified. And it does what i need for further utilization in MOOSE
classes. When the Scheduler is nillified, but, a schedule was planned
for that Scheduler, once the scheduler fires off, it will ignore that
call... cool.
