Change wording about how to run a delayed job manually

Anton Starovoytov requested to merge astarovoytov-cicd-delayed-job-control into master

What does this MR do and why?

Clarifies how to run a delayed job manually.

The docs do not clearly state that you need to cancel a schedule before running a job mannually.

These are strongly recommended to assist reviewers and reduce the time to merge your change.

How to set up and validate locally

Simple pipeline configuration to test


stages:
  - build
  
job1:
  stage: build
  when: delayed
  start_in: 30 minutes
  script:
    - ls

This creates a job, and if you click play button to run manually, it does not do anything. You need to cancel the delayed timer first (Unschedule button on the job) and only after that you can start the job manually.
