Add safe wp-config.php modification with validation

Critical Safety Improvements:
- Prevent duplicate DISABLE_WP_CRON entries
- Detect and modify existing definitions (commented or not)
- Automatic rollback on failure
- Verification of changes before committing

Safety Function Features:
✅ Checks file exists and is writable before modification
✅ Detects existing DISABLE_WP_CRON (even if set to false)
✅ Modifies existing line instead of adding duplicate
✅ Ignores commented lines when detecting existing definitions
✅ Creates temporary backup (.wpbak) during modification
✅ Verifies change was successful after modification
✅ Automatically restores backup if verification fails
✅ Removes temporary backup only on success

Prevents Issues:
❌ No duplicate define() statements
❌ No syntax errors from malformed sed commands
❌ No broken wp-config.php files
❌ No accumulation of multiple entries on repeated runs

Error Handling:
- Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure
- Calling code can gracefully handle failures
- User feedback when modification fails
- Skips sites that fail instead of breaking entire batch
