feat: implement Docker image optimization - reduces size from 2.6GB to ~200MB

- Add optimized database schema with embedded source code storage
- Create optimized rebuild script that extracts source at build time
- Implement optimized MCP server reading from pre-built database
- Add Dockerfile.optimized with multi-stage build process
- Create comprehensive documentation and testing scripts
- Demonstrate 92% size reduction by removing runtime n8n dependencies

The optimization works by:
1. Building complete database at Docker build time
2. Extracting all node source code into the database
3. Creating minimal runtime image without n8n packages
4. Serving everything from pre-built SQLite database

This makes n8n-MCP suitable for resource-constrained production deployments.
