fix: mcpTrigger nodes no longer flagged as disconnected (#503) (#506)

Fixed validation bug where mcpTrigger nodes were incorrectly flagged as
"disconnected nodes" when using n8n_update_partial_workflow or
n8n_update_full_workflow. This blocked ALL updates to MCP server workflows.

Changes:
- Extended validateWorkflowStructure() to check all 7 connection types
  (main, error, ai_tool, ai_languageModel, ai_memory, ai_embedding, ai_vectorStore)
- Updated trigger node validation to accept either outgoing OR inbound connections
- Added 7 new tests covering all AI connection types

Fixes #503
