feat: optimize Docker build to exclude n8n dependencies

Major optimization that reduces Docker image size by 87% and build time by 10x:

- Remove ALL n8n dependencies from runtime Docker image
- Add package.runtime.json with only 5 essential runtime deps
- Optimize Dockerfile to build TypeScript without n8n packages
- Add BuildKit optimizations with cache mounts
- Update documentation to highlight the improvements

Results:
- Image size: ~1.5GB → ~200MB (87% reduction)
- Build time: ~12 minutes → ~1-2 minutes
- No n8n version conflicts at runtime
- Better security with minimal attack surface

The key insight is that since we always rebuild the database locally
before deployment, the Docker runtime never needs n8n packages.
