Re-register cron jobs when gRPC worker restarts

When the gRPC worker restarts, the scheduled tasks need to be re-added to the new gRPC server instance. This fix:

1. Tracks the HTTP worker reference in the master process
2. Sends a 'reregister-crons' message to the HTTP worker after gRPC restarts
3. HTTP worker calls autosave_crontab() to re-register all cron jobs with the new gRPC server

This ensures scheduled tasks continue to work after a gRPC worker restart.
