Summary

Closes #512.

Documents that an empty TZ environment variable breaks Directus scheduled cron jobs (telemetry, metrics, retention, upload cleanup, etc.) after the switch to the cron package in v11.13+, and that a valid IANA timezone or an unset TZ is required.

Thanks! I merged main in to resolve the conflict and widened the first sentence to cover the jobs people actually configure: Flows with a Schedule trigger and extension schedule hooks.
