feat: implement MCP v2 improvements - simple MVP fixes

Browse Source 
Based on Claude Desktop evaluation feedback, implemented minimal fixes:

## Day 1 - Deploy & Debug
- Added /version and /test-tools endpoints for deployment verification
- Added debug logging to list_nodes and list_ai_tools
- Fixed version display in health and initialization responses

## Day 2 - Core Fixes
- Fixed multi-word search to handle phrases like "send slack message"
- Added property deduplication to eliminate duplicate webhook/email properties
- Fixed package name mismatch to handle both formats (@n8n/ prefix variations)

## Day 3 - Polish & Test
- Added simple in-memory cache with 1-hour TTL for essentials
- Added documentation fallback when nodes lack documentation
- All features tested and verified working

Total code changes: ~62 lines as planned
No overengineering, just simple focused fixes
