Add comprehensive validation and duplicate prevention to WordPress cron manager

MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS:

1. USER VERIFICATION & SAFETY
   - verify_user_ownership(): Check that extracted user matches file owner
   - user_is_valid(): Validate user exists and has valid home directory
   - Prevents modifications on wrong users or system accounts

2. WP-CONFIG SYNTAX VALIDATION
   - validate_wp_config_syntax(): Check PHP syntax before and after changes
   - Uses php -l if available for comprehensive validation
   - CRITICAL: Re-validates after modifications to catch any syntax errors
   - Automatic restore from backup if syntax becomes invalid

3. DUPLICATE PREVENTION
   - cron_job_exists(): Check if cron job already exists before adding
   - disable_wp_cron_exists(): Check if DISABLE_WP_CRON already defined
   - Remove old cron jobs before adding new ones (prevents accumulation)
   - Prevents duplicate entries in crontabs

4. PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
   - preflight_check(): Comprehensive validation of all installations
   - Validates all WordPress sites on server before any changes
   - Shows count of valid vs invalid installations
   - Can be run independently (Menu Option 9)

5. DETAILED STATUS REPORTING
   - show_installation_status(): Display current state of all WP sites
   - Shows: User, WP-Cron status, System Cron Job existence
   - Helps verify correct installation before modifications
   - Can be run independently (Menu Option 10)

6. CASE 2 ENHANCEMENTS (Single Domain)
   - Full validation chain before ANY modifications:
     * User validation
     * User ownership verification
     * wp-config syntax validation (BEFORE)
     * DISABLE_WP_CRON existence check
     * Cron job existence check
     * Re-validation (AFTER wp-config modification)
   - User confirmation for non-standard cases
   - Clear status messages for each check
   - Duplicate prevention with automatic old job removal

7. NEW MENU OPTIONS
   - Option 9: Run pre-flight checks on all installations
   - Option 10: Show detailed status of all WordPress sites
   - Helps users validate system before running operations

8. CRON JOB VERIFICATION
   - All cron jobs are verified to go into correct user's crontab
   - User extraction confirmed against file ownership
   - Cannot accidentally create root crontab entries
   - Prevents privilege escalation risks

SAFETY FEATURES:
- Multiple layers of validation
- Automatic backup creation
- Syntax verification before/after changes
- Automatic restoration on syntax failure
- Confirmation prompts for edge cases
- Comprehensive error messages

Ready for production deployment with high confidence!
