Fix critical issues in WordPress cron manager script

Browse Source 
FIXES (7 issues resolved):
1. CRITICAL: Fix infinite recursion in extract_user_from_path()
   - Changed from recursive calls to direct path parsing with awk
   - User extraction now works correctly for cpanel/interworx

2. CRITICAL: Fix sed commands failing with unescaped delimiters
   - Changed all sed delimiters from '/' to '#' for safe pattern matching
   - Fixes wp-config.php modification failures

3. HIGH: Fix cron time collision with 15+ sites
   - Increased CRON_OFFSET modulo from 15 to 60
   - Simplified cron pattern to single minute per hour
   - Prevents multiple sites running simultaneously

4. HIGH: Fix CRON_OFFSET lost in piped loops
   - Converted echo pipes to here-strings (<<< syntax)
   - Each site now gets unique staggered cron time

5. HIGH: Fix unquoted paths in cron commands
   - Added quotes around $site_path variables
   - Paths with spaces and special characters now work

6. MEDIUM: Add safe crontab operation functions
   - Created safe_add_cron_job() with error checking
   - Created safe_remove_cron_jobs() with validation
   - Prevents accidental crontab deletion

7. MEDIUM: Improve error handling throughout
   - Added error checking before crontab operations
   - Better error messages when operations fail
   - Safer defaults (no silent failures)

All changes maintain backward compatibility and improve reliability.
Script is now production-ready.
