Subject: [PATCH] Show 'Fleet will try again.' in host activity feed for NotNow
 MDM commands (#44532)

Relates to: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/44529

## Summary

- Adds "Fleet will try again." text to the host-level activity feed for
MDM commands with a "NotNow" status, matching the existing behavior in
the CommandDetailsModal.
- Previously, users had to open the modal to see this retry information;
now it's visible directly in the activity feed.

## Changes

-
`frontend/pages/hosts/details/cards/Activity/CommandItem/CommandItem.tsx`:
When a command's `status` is `"NotNow"`, append " Fleet will try again."
to the activity text displayed in the feed.

## QA

1. Navigate to a host details page with MDM commands enabled.
2. Trigger or find a command with "NotNow" status (host locked or
running on battery in Power Nap).
3. Verify the activity feed item shows "The **{command}** command is
deferred. Fleet will try again."
4. Verify the CommandDetailsModal still shows the full deferred message
with "Fleet will try again."
