feat(cron): add cron.wrap_response config to disable delivery wrapping (#3807)

Adds a config option to suppress the header/footer text that wraps
cron job responses when delivered to messaging platforms.

Set cron.wrap_response: false in config.yaml for clean output without
the 'Cronjob Response: <name>' header and 'The agent cannot see this
message' footer.  Default is true (preserves current behavior).
