duration options seem to be strings sometimes

This plugin: https://github.com/MetPX/sarracenia/blob/development/sarracenia/flowcb/poll/airnow.py

Doesn't work because self.o.scheduled_interval is a string, when the config has scheduled_interval 900.

I added a line to print the value and type:

[DEBUG] poll.airnow poll sleep is 900 <class 'str'>

I tried setting it to 900s, but that didn't work either:

[DEBUG] poll.airnow poll sleep is 900s <class 'str'>

I don't understand why this isn't causing problems anywhere else.

I think it likely has something to do with the order that plugins are loaded in.

It looks like the poll plugin is loaded before the scheduled plugin, and that's where the scheduled_interval option is defined as a duration type.

16:41:29,776 [DEBUG] sarracenia.flow run callbacks loaded: ['sarracenia.flowcb.post.message.Message', 'sarracenia.flowcb.gather.message.Message', 'sarracenia.flowcb.retry.Retry', 'sarracenia.flowcb.housekeeping.resources.Resources', 'sarracenia.flowcb.nodupe.disk.Disk', 'poll.airnow', 'log', 'sarracenia.flowcb.scheduled.poll.Poll']

I tried adding a constructor to the airnow poll plugin with self.o.add_option('scheduled_interval', kind='duration') and it doesn't help.

But I am sure that inside the actual scheduled code (https://github.com/MetPX/sarracenia/blob/development/sarracenia/flowcb/scheduled/__init__.py), it is not a string.

I see 2025-02-26 16:49:42,855 [DEBUG] sarracenia.config add_option 29 scheduled_interval declared as type:<class 'float'> value:900s in the logs.

And [DEBUG] sarracenia.flowcb.scheduled calc_next_gather_time next gather should be in 900.0s, scheduled for 2025-02-26 17:04:42.893077+00:00 which should say 900ss if scheduled_interval was a string there.

I added a call to durationToSeconds in the plugin as a workaround for now
