+Add deprecation warning for `delivery_delay` in queue producer bindings
+
+The `delivery_delay` setting in `[[queues.producers]]` was silently having no effect since 2024.
+This change adds a deprecation warning when the setting is used, informing users that queue-level
+settings should be configured using `wrangler queues update` instead. The setting will be removed
+in a future version.
