documentation in CronInterface is out of date and incomplete

git blame shows this dates back to when the interface was added in 9da7e4cdc7c2c289b9af079d22fcfd862121a903 in 2014:

> Issue #2169267 by damiankloip: Replace drupal_cron_run() with a Cron service.

git describe says:

> 8.0-alpha8-78-g9da7e4cdc7

And Simpletest was replaced with PHPUnit around 2016 -- #1567500: [meta] Pave the way to replace the testing framework with PHPUnit and possibly rewrite Simpletest → .

So yes, it looks like this comment dates from the Simpletest era and can simply be removed.

I'll file a follow-up to look into removing CronRunTrait.

As I understand it, the documentation regarding the execution of cron tasks in tests is outdated and needs to be updated. If it's ok, I can take care of it.

Work is done for me. Tell me if the doc is too long, I will shorten it.

From my standpoint that reads well and clearly provides more detail then currently there.
