[KUKA] Remove unnecessary & annoying tasks throwing errors at timeout when proper message from the component is present

[PTKu]

Summary

• KRC5-only PLC fix: AxoKrc5 no longer throws spurious task-timeout errors when the component has already reported the proper condition.
• Removed the ThrowWhen watchdog calls (_errorTimer.output and Duration >= Config.TaskTimeout) from all eight AxoKrc5 tasks.
• AxoKrc4 is intentionally unchanged and keeps both watchdogs.
• Documentation and changelogs updated; library bumped to 0.61.1.

[FIX] AxoKrc5 no longer throws spurious task-timeout errors

Note: PLC bug fix in src/components.kuka.robotics/ctrl/src/AxoKrc5/v_5_x_x/AxoKrc5.st. KRC5-only — AxoKrc4 is unchanged. No public-API change. Branch: 1165-bug-kuka-issue-with-robot-reset.

• fix: Removed the ThrowWhen watchdog calls (_errorTimer.output and Duration >= Config.TaskTimeout) from every AxoKrc5 task — StartAtMain, StartMotors, StartProgram, StartMotorsAndProgram, StartMotorsProgramAndMovements, StartMovements, StopMotors, and StopMovementsAndProgram. A stalled task now surfaces through the component's own status message instead of an additional, redundant task-timeout error that fired even when the component had already reported the proper condition.
• docs: src/components.kuka.robotics/docs/AxoKrc5.md and TROUBLES.md record the divergence (a 4th KRC5-only difference; ErrorTime / TaskTimeout no longer abort KRC5 tasks; the TaskTimeout watchdog troubleshooting bullet is now flagged KRC4-only). Library CHANGELOG bumped to 0.61.1.

Impact: Operating a KRC5 robot no longer produces nuisance task-timeout errors on top of the component's genuine status message. AxoKrc4 retains both watchdogs.

Risks/Review: KRC5 tasks no longer self-abort on duration; long-running or stuck tasks rely on the component status message and operator intervention rather than the TaskTimeout watchdog.

Test plan

• PLC code compiles via apax build; affected KRC5 sequences exercised in PLCSIM Advanced (verify no spurious task-timeout errors during long/stalled tasks)
• CHANGELOG entry covers all branch commits and flags breaking changes
