Allow to schedule a provided Job-instance

Why would they want to override compute_next_run_time? That's what triggers are for. This request is not feasible and frankly I don't see much point in it, at least given those arguments.

I already have a class containing:

1. the function to be executed
2. all schedule information

I wanted to avoid to create a new job-instance, but to use my class instead directly. (avoid to have to handle one more object)

I know the benefit (in my case) isn't very big... (But others could perhaps want to implement some special job specific hings in 'compute_next_run_time' method... )

(Even with jobstores, this feature could be feasible: Instead of using everywhere class 'Job', you could have a property 'apscheduler.jobClass' wich defaults to 'apscheduler.job.Job' but which could be overriden by the user if wanted)

The Job class was never intended to be subclassed by users. Job stores create Job instances directly from stored data. What are you aiming at with this?
