P1 Badge Preserve running status for newly created native agents

This change now forces every non-OpenClaw agent to idle at creation time and no longer calls agent_manager.start_container, so native agents no longer transition to running even in environments where runtime startup is available. That breaks features that still require running status (for example, backend/app/services/scheduler.py:43 skips scheduled executions, and backend/app/services/collaboration.py:39 rejects delegation), causing newly created native agents to lose automation/collaboration behavior until status is manually changed.

However, starting the native agent now also requires starting the OpenClaw container, which is unreasonable. If Docker isn't used for deployment, it will directly enter an idle state, affecting the two points mentioned above. Therefore, setting it to idle here is reasonable, at least it won't cause any further problems.
