Description of problem:

`katello-remove-orphans` and `katello-clean-empty-puppet-environments` can clash with `katello-backup` depending on the schedule, causing incomplete `pulp` backup data being saved away.

We have seen issues, when `katello-backup` and `katello-remove-orphans` run at the same time. It causes `backup_pulp_online` to run multiple times https://github.com/Katello/katello-packaging/blob/KATELLO-3.3/katello/katello-backup#L53 which will produce a almost empty `pulp_data.tar` as `--listed-incremental=.pulp.snar` is used for the first but more important the second run.

Having `katello-remove-orphans` and `katello-clean-empty-puppet-environments` in `cron.d` would allow more flexibility and control when it actually runs. It would also be easier to adjust the timing if clash between `katello-backup` and `katello-remove-orphans` are about to be expected.

Thus changing https://github.com/Katello/katello-packaging/blob/e34a02227e537b293590dc13df06e16ecd4dba76/katello/katello.spec#L84-L85 (including https://github.com/Katello/katello-packaging/blob/e34a02227e537b293590dc13df06e16ecd4dba76/katello/katello.spec#L136-L137) as well as https://github.com/Katello/katello-packaging/blob/e34a02227e537b293590dc13df06e16ecd4dba76/katello/katello-remove-orphans and https://github.com/Katello/katello-packaging/blob/e34a02227e537b293590dc13df06e16ecd4dba76/katello/katello-clean-empty-puppet-environments to actually reflect the requirements and implementation for `cron.d` would be greatly appreciated and add the required/expected flexibility.
