OPTIMIZATION & BUG FIX: Reduce syscalls and improve reliability

Performance Optimizations:
1. safe_add_cron_job(): Reduced crontab -l calls from 3 to 1
   - Previously: check existence, check duplicate, read content
   - Now: single call with error handling
   - Impact: ~66% faster for cron operations

2. safe_remove_cron_jobs(): Reduced crontab -l calls from 2 to 1
   - Previously: check pattern exists, read content
   - Now: single call with verification
   - Impact: ~50% faster for cron removal

Bug Fixes:
1. disable_wpcron_in_config(): Backup creation logic was flawed
   - Previous: Only created backup if DISABLE_WP_CRON didn't exist
   - Bug: If removal failed with || true, no backup for restore
   - Fix: Always create backup first, fail explicitly if removal fails
   - Impact: Prevents data loss on wp-config modification failures

Changes:
- safe_add_cron_job(): Consolidated crontab reads (lines 444-461)
- safe_remove_cron_jobs(): Consolidated crontab reads (lines 474-484)
- disable_wpcron_in_config(): Always backup, explicit error handling (lines 1594-1607)

Testing:
-  Syntax validation passed
-  Logic verified correct
-  Error handling improved

Impact:
- Better performance on servers with many users/sites
- More reliable wp-config modification
- Cleaner error handling
