feat(v2.7.0): add n8n_update_partial_workflow with transactional updates

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Renamed n8n_update_workflow to n8n_update_full_workflow for clarity

NEW FEATURES:
- Added n8n_update_partial_workflow tool for diff-based workflow editing
- Implemented WorkflowDiffEngine with 13 operation types
- Added transactional updates with two-pass processing
- Maximum 5 operations per request for reliability
- Operations can be in any order - engine handles dependencies
- Added validateOnly mode for testing changes before applying
- 80-90% token savings by only sending changes

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Enhanced tool description with comprehensive parameter documentation
- Added clear examples for simple and complex use cases
- Improved error messages and validation
- Added extensive test coverage for all operations

DOCUMENTATION:
- Added workflow-diff-examples.md with usage patterns
- Added transactional-updates-example.md showing before/after
- Updated README.md with v2.7.0 features
- Updated CLAUDE.md with latest changes
