api: Add fixed # tasks per round. Closes space-meridian/roadmap#82

[juliangruber]

Closes space-meridian/roadmap#82
Depends on filecoin-station/spark-stats#214

Alternatives considered:

• Base task count on measurement count from previous round. This data doesn't exist in spark-stats yet. It should lead to better results though, than the currently used station-id count. @bajtos wdyt? Shall we give this a try and see if it behaves well enough? We went with this alternative

Questions:

• Do we need to test this code path? Yes

TODO

• Track in Graphana
  • measurements target for round
  • measurements count for round
  • total desired measurement count
  • actual measurement count
• Write tests for scaling

+   maxTasksPerNode: 2,
-   maxTasksPerNode: 15,

Using live data, this will decrease the job count by a lot. We might want to update the target job volume

[bajtos]

Great start!

Do we need to test this code path?

Yes, please. Otherwise, how can we verify that the algorithm works as intended?

[bajtos]

Nice! I think the proposed algorithm should work well 👍🏻

I'd like to improve a few minor details, PTAL below.

Thanks! Will ship tomorrow
