Update the start documentation for the new lifecycle.

The documentation at Lines 38-39 still says that no task is spawned when hotreload is disabled. This code now spawns the task intentionally so that the watch senders remain alive. Describe the disabled-mode task behavior instead.

Proposed documentation update 
-    /// If hotreload is disabled on startup the task will not be
-    /// spawned.
+    /// The task is spawned regardless of the startup setting.
+    /// Reload attempts are ignored when hotreload is disabled.

In `@fact/src/config/reloader/mod.rs` around lines 46 - 52, Update the start
method documentation to reflect that a task is spawned even when hotreload is
disabled, using the disabled-mode behavior shown by the enabled check and
Duration::MAX ticker; remove the outdated claim that no task is spawned while
preserving the documentation for enabled mode.
