Scheduling Randomized Daily Reports with APScheduler

This code defines a function `send_daily_report` that is used to send a daily report. Another function `generate_random_date` is used to generate a random date within the next 7 days. The `schedule_report` function uses the APScheduler library to schedule the report to be sent at a random time within the next 7 days.
