docs(cron): lead with agent-driven setup for no-agent mode (#19871)

The shipped no-agent docs introduced the feature via CLI first and
mentioned the chat path as a two-line afterthought. That buries the
actual value prop: the cronjob tool exposes no_agent directly to the
agent, so a user can describe a watchdog in plain language and Hermes
wires up the script + schedule + delivery without anyone opening an
editor.

Changes:

* cron-script-only.md: promote 'Create One from Chat' above
  'Create One from the CLI', flesh it out with a worked transcript
  (the actual tool calls the agent makes), add subsections covering
  'what the agent decides for you' (when to pick no_agent=True vs
  LLM mode) and 'managing watchdogs from chat' (pause/resume/edit/
  remove all agent-accessible).

* user-guide/features/cron.md:
  - Add 'no-agent mode' to the top-level feature list with a cross-
    link, plus a sentence up top making it clear everything is
    agent-accessible through the cronjob tool.
  - Add 'The agent sets these up for you' subsection to the no-agent
    section showing the exact tool call shape.

* automate-with-cron.md: tighten the existing tip box to mention the
  agent-driven path, not just CLI scheduling.

No behavior change — docs only.

:::tip Don't need the LLM? Use no-agent mode.
For recurring watchdogs where the script already produces the exact message you want to send (memory alerts, disk alerts, CI pings, heartbeats), skip the LLM entirely with [script-only cron jobs](/docs/guides/cron-script-only). Zero tokens, same scheduler.

Zero tokens, same scheduler. You can ask Hermes to set one up for you in chat — the `cronjob` tool knows when to pick `no_agent=True` and writes the script for you.
