Create a new maintenance schedule

**Schedule types**

The `schedule_type` field determines the maintenance behavior and which
other fields are required:

* `RRULE` — Recurring window. Requires `rrule` (a valid RFC 5545 RRULE
  string) and `duration_minutes`. `starts_at` anchors the recurrence and
  takes priority over the RRULE `DTSTART`; `ends_at` optionally bounds
  when the recurrence stops.
* `ONE_OFF` — Single window. Requires `starts_at` plus either `ends_at`
  or `duration_minutes` (when only `duration_minutes` is given, `ends_at`
  is derived from `starts_at`). `rrule` must not be set.
* `MANUAL` — Indefinite/open-ended window. Requires `starts_at`; omit
  `ends_at` to keep the window ongoing. `rrule` and `duration_minutes`
  are not used. Manual schedules are normally created by the per-check
  "maintenance now" toggle; deleting one ends the manual maintenance for
  its checks.
