Ben Thorner 1213463b8e Only aggregate status when necessary for a service ...

This takes a similar approach to the nightly deletion task so that
we only create sub-tasks when there are actually notifications to
aggregate for a given type and day [1].

We're making this change to stop the duplication errors we're getting
at the moment and ensure the task can scale to more messages and more
services. There are two parts to this:

- Each subtask should now run within the 5 minute visibility timeout.
However, they may still be duplicated if the parent task overruns [2].

- The parent task creates a mininal number of subtasks, and the query
to determine this is very fast for a normal process day (milliseconds).

Since all tasks will run quickly, there should be no more duplication.

In order to test this more nuanced task, I rewrote the tests:

- One test checks the subtask is called correctly.
- One test checks we create all the right subtasks.
