Lorenze Jay 6c19669d63 refactor: update date injection functionality in agents (#6850)
* refactor: update date injection functionality in agents

- Changed the description of the  parameter to clarify that it injects the current date into the agent's prompt instead of tasks.
- Removed the  method as it was no longer needed.
- Implemented a new  method in the  class to handle date injection directly into the prompt.
- Updated tests to ensure the date is correctly injected into the system prompt and user messages based on the  flag.

"""Tests for the agent ``inject_date`` flag.
These assert against the messages the LLM actually receives, so they fail if the
date stops reaching the wire for either execution entry point: crew/task
execution via ``execute_task`` and standalone execution via ``kickoff``.
