Add a dedicated time frame for media verification function

We would like to define a dedicated time frame in the media verification function so that this verification function is not active during daily backups.

This will allow you to unassign the tape drives to this verification function and assign them to the logical library in order to improve the performance of daily backups.

    The tape drives should be automatically unassigned from media verification outside of the window to participate to daily backups, and autoatically be reassigned during the media verification window.
