feat: time-aware model routing for cron jobs (#317)

Route cron jobs to different models based on time of day.

- Peak hours (user active): cheaper model, user catches errors
- Off-peak hours (user absent): stronger model, errors go uncorrected

Config under smart_model_routing.cron_time_routing:
  enabled, timezone, peak_hours (start/end), peak_model, offpeak_model

Integrates into cron/scheduler.py via resolve_cron_turn_route(), which
checks time-aware routing first, then falls back to normal smart routing.

12 tests added (test_cron_time_routing.py). All 18 routing tests pass.

Closes #317
