Refactor scheduler.py to use the application-level pooled DatabaseClient

Replace the per-invocation DatabaseClient creation in
run_scheduled_analysis() with the shared pooled client from
SPARC.auth.get_db_client(). This avoids creating a new database
connection on every scheduler tick, which could exhaust the connection
pool under load.

Key changes:
- Import get_db_client from SPARC.auth instead of DatabaseClient
- Remove manual connect/initialize_schema/close calls
- Remove unused SPARC.config import

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#1658
