This adds a default for the slm.retention_schedule setting, setting it
to 0 30 1 * * ? which is 1:30am every day.

Having retention unset meant that it would never be invoked and clean up
snapshots. We determined it would be better to have a default than never
to be run. When coming to a decision, we weighed the option of an
absolute time (such as 1:30am) versus a periodic invocation (like every
12 hours). In the end we decided on the absolute time because it has
better predictability and consistency than a periodic invocation, which
would rely on when the master node were elected or restarted.

Relates to #43663
