Enhance Cron Schedule for Campaign-Based

This pull request introduces significant improvements to campaign scheduling and plugin updates in the AI Content Writer plugin. The main focus is on allowing users to set campaign frequencies directly per campaign, refactoring the update/installation logic for better maintainability, and improving code compatibility and clarity. It also removes legacy global campaign frequency settings and related UI, and updates the plugin version to 2.2.5.

Campaign Frequency and Scheduling:

• Added support for selecting campaign frequency (e.g., hourly, daily) directly in the add/edit campaign forms, storing this value per campaign and using it to schedule cron jobs accordingly. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
• Removed the old global campaign frequency setting and its UI from the general settings, ensuring that frequency is now campaign-specific. [1] [2]

Plugin Update and Installation Refactor:

• Introduced a new Installer class to handle plugin installation and versioned updates, including migration of campaign frequency meta and cleanup of old scheduled hooks during the 2.2.5 upgrade.
• Changed the activation hook to use Installer::install and refactored version management, moving version retrieval to a new get_version method.
• Ensured the Installer class is initialized on plugin load for update checks and migrations.

Campaign Execution Logic:

• Simplified the campaign run logic by consolidating multiple cron calls into a single Cron::process_campaign method, streamlining instant campaign execution.

Code Quality and Compatibility:

• Replaced usage of str_contains with strpos for better compatibility with older PHP versions. [1] [2] [3]
• Minor doc and comment improvements for clarity and consistency. [1] [2]

Version Update:

• Updated plugin version to 2.2.5 in all relevant locations. [1] [2]
