fix(cron): don't silently disable recurring cron jobs when croniter is missing (#16368)

If the gateway's Python env loses access to 'croniter' between when a
cron job was created and when mark_job_run() fires, compute_next_run()
returns None for cron schedules. mark_job_run() treated that as terminal
completion and wrote enabled=false, state=completed — turning a missing
runtime dep into a silent, permanent job-off.

That behaviour is safe for one-shot jobs but wrong for recurring ones. A
missing dep should surface as an error the user can see, not as successful
completion of a job that is about to stop firing.

mark_job_run() now only disables the job on next_run_at=None when the
schedule is one-shot. For recurring (cron/interval) schedules it keeps
enabled=true, sets state=error, and records last_error so the user can
see why the job isn't advancing. compute_next_run() also logs a warning
the first time cron+no-croniter hits, so the underlying cause is visible
in the gateway log.

Tests cover:
- recurring cron job stays enabled with state=error when HAS_CRONITER=False
- recurring interval stays enabled when compute_next_run returns None
- one-shot jobs still flip to enabled=false, state=completed (no regression)

Fixes #16265
