Add a "Last Successful Sync Date" field to cron task instances

It would be helpful to know when the last successful sync date was for a given cron task instance. I.e., the last time records were actually synced to Maximo.

For example, with the OOB ArcGISDataSync cron task, we don't have a good way to know when the last successful sync was.

This is not the same thing as the LASTRUNTIME. A cron task instance can run, but GIS is timing out, so we have no flag in GIS to know what still needs to be processed. The cron never finishes successfully and there is no way to know that this is happening other than reading the logs, which is very hard to do in a production environment because of all other stuff happening there.

Bringing your Data in with the ArcGISDataSync Crontask

That's a flawed/dangerous technique. Just because a cron task ran, it doesn't mean the sync was successful. Using that technique, it's entirely possible for records to never get synced to Maximo, which is a big problem.
