feat: exclude stale conversations via assignment policy age threshold (#14766)

## Linear ticket

https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7137/assignment-v2-backlog-flush-overloads-agents

## Description

Assignment policies now skip stale unassigned conversations
automatically. Each policy carries an age threshold (defaults to 7
days), so auto-assignment only picks up recent backlog instead of
draining very old, forgotten conversations. The threshold is
configurable per policy and can be cleared to assign conversations
regardless of age. Previously this control existed only on Enterprise
capacity policies (`exclude_older_than_hours`); it now lives on the
assignment policy itself, so every V2 inbox benefits without needing a
capacity policy.

## Type of change

- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

## How Has This Been Tested?
