[R4.2] Minor/cosmetic error in qubes-core-dom0-linux

[ I don’t intend to report this on github due to lack of an account and moral objections etc. ]

In my R4.2.4 dom0:

[user@dom0 ~]$ cat /etc/cron.d/qubes-sync-clock.cron 
0 */1 * * * root /usr/bin/qvm-sync-clock > /dev/null 2>&1 || true

The “*/1” is useless and just obfuscating the simple fact that the script is run every hour at :00.
Should be replaced by a simple “*”.

The file is part of qubes-core-dom0-linux rpm, at least as of version 4.2.36 with “Build Date : Wed 16 Jul 2025 02:00:00 CEST”.

Please fix (with low priority) :pray:
