## Description

### Acceptance criteria

*   Scheduling mode is persisted in the database
*   Scheduling mode is present in the work package resource
    *   Could be represented by a boolean field or by an enumeration
*   Scheduling mode is present in the work package schema
*   The scheduling mode can be modified via the API
    *   Requires no extra permission. Add/Edit work packages suffices.

### Out of scope

*   Business logic when scheduling and when activating/deactivating manual/automatic scheduling.

### Implementation notes

*   Add a boolean field to the database.
*   Add a boolean field to the work package resource.
*   Describe the field in the work package schema resource.
*   Add the attribute to the contract.
*   Add the attribute to the default values within the SetAttributesService (default: automatic scheduling).
*   If opportunity arrises: Refactor TypedWorkPackageSchema and SpecifcWorkPackageSchema to be simple Contracts just like it is handle for the rest of the resources.
