Read Veeam next run from the live schedule

On VBR 13 a job's ScheduleOptions property is a stale snapshot: NextRun
is empty (and its LatestRunLocal years old), so every Veeam job showed
no next run and could never be flagged Overdue. GetScheduleOptions() /
Get-VBRJobScheduleOptions return the live schedule ("2026-10-09
12:15:00 AM"). Use GetScheduleOptions(), falling back to the property.

Immediate-mode backup copy jobs (IsContinuous) have a live NextRun too,
but it's a stale date months in the past, which would show as Overdue;
keep reporting no next run for them.

Parsing tries the current culture, then invariant; VBR 13's format
parsed correctly under en-CA, en-US, fr-CA and en-GB. Mock updated to
VBR 13's schedule shape.
