perf: limit the number of notifications per user to 300 (#13234)

## Linear issue


https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6289/limit-the-number-of-notifications-per-user-to-300

## Description

Limits the number of notifications per user to 300 by introducing an
async trim job that runs after each notification creation. This prevents
unbounded notification growth that was causing DB CPU spikes.

## Type of change

- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] This change requires a documentation update

## How Has This Been Tested?

- Added unit tests for TrimUserNotificationsJob

> [!NOTE]
> Implements a dedicated purge job to control notification volume and
scheduling.
> 
> - Introduces `Notification::RemoveOldNotificationJob` (queue:
`purgable`) to delete notifications older than 1 month and trim each
user to the 300 most recent (deterministic by `created_at DESC, id
DESC`)
> - Adds daily cron (`remove_old_notification_job` at 22:30 UTC, queue
`purgable`) in `config/schedule.yml`
> - Removes ad-hoc triggering of the purge from
`TriggerScheduledItemsJob`
> - Adds/updates specs covering enqueue queue, old-notification
deletion, per-user trimming, and combined behavior
