perf: optimize workflow tool responses for token efficiency (v2.29.0) (#479)

* perf: optimize workflow tool responses for token efficiency (v2.29.0)

Reduce response sizes by 75-90% for 4 workflow management tools:

- n8n_update_partial_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, operationsApplied}
- n8n_create_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, nodeCount}
- n8n_update_full_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, nodeCount}
- n8n_delete_workflow: Returns {id, name, deleted: true}

AI agents can use n8n_get_workflow with mode 'structure' if they need
to verify the current workflow state after operations.

* fix: update tests and add nodeCount to partial update response

- Fix handleCreateWorkflow test to expect minimal response
- Fix handleDeleteWorkflow test to expect minimal response
- Add nodeCount to n8n_update_partial_workflow response for consistency
- Update documentation and CHANGELOG

* fix: update handlers-workflow-diff tests for minimal response

Update 3 more tests that expected full workflow in response:
- should apply diff operations successfully
- should activate workflow after successful update
- should deactivate workflow after successful update

* fix: update integration tests to use minimal response format

Integration tests now verify minimal response format and use
client.getWorkflow() to fetch actual workflow state for verification.

* fix: update create/update workflow integration tests for minimal response

Integration tests now verify minimal response and use client.getWorkflow()
to fetch actual workflow state for detailed verification.
