Cron Jobs Misbehaving in CDOT 8.2.X

This is a continuation of When Tuesday to Sunday Isn’t Tuesday to Sunday!

Some cron jobs that don’t behave as expected!

1) ::> cron create -name Nightly_Tue-Sun@01 -minute 0 -hour 1 -dayOfWeek Tue-Sun

This was meant to trigger at 1am everyday Tuesday to Sunday (Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun), but in fact it does Sun-Tue, so only triggered at 1am every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday!

2) ::> cron create -name Weekly_Mon_8th-31st -minute 0 -hour 1 -dayOfWeek Mon -Day 8-31

This was meant to trigger on a Monday which exists between the dates of the 8th to the 31^st, but it was actually triggering on every day that's a Monday, and every day between 8 and 31!

3) ::> cron create -name Monthly_Mon_1st-7th -minute 0 -hour 1 -dayOfWeek Mon -Day 1-7

This was meant to trigger on a Monday which exists between the dates of the 1st to the 7^th, but it was actually triggering on every Monday, and every day between 1st and 7th!

For reference, the original cron schedules and snapshot policy they were intended for, how they should have been created in the first place and how they were fixed, are below.
