migrate gerrit backups to phx and increase visibility

Description

Right now gerrit is being backed up using a local cronjob on the gerrit machine and into linode01.ovirt.org, which we plan to decommission.

We need to move the backups to the our production DC, maybe even to a backup VM that will used for general backups, at least until we'll have a proper backup solution for the entire DC.

In addition we need to increase visibility to the backup process and monitor it, probably via jenkins job, similar to http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/System%20and%20Monitoring/job/system_backup-jenkins-org/

please update if it is finished and add info on the new location of the backup

correction, the backups are synced into jenkins.ovirt.org via a cron job on gerrit.ovirt.org with gerrit2 user:

$HOME/bin/gerrit-database-backup.sh
$HOME/bin/gerrit-gerrit2-home-backup.sh

Just need to adjust these scripts to copy to backup.phx.ovirt.org (a new vm we'll create on phx dc) and put gerrit2 public key there.

Holiday today, but I can definitely take this

let me know if you can take it, not critical for now, but good for the next few weeks,
especially before we upgrade gerrit
