Title: Dispatch jobs as soon as possible

Currently, the evaluation service checks for jobs to dispatch every 2 seconds. Hence, there is an idle interval of some random length (0-2 seconds) between two jobs. This obviously doesn't have a big impact on long running jobs, but can make a difference if the jobs are all rather easy (e.g. compilation), especially when debugging (tasks or the server).

This commit pushes the `dispatch_jobs` method to the event queue for being called immediately whenever a job is added to the job queue or a job finished. This is done via a call to `add_timeout` with `seconds=0`. The event library has been adapted so that the function gets called only once if `seconds=0`.

As far as I see, `dispatch_jobs` often runs in parallel to `invalidate_submission`. Is that OK?
