fix: Phase 0 critical connection operation fixes (Issue #272, #204)

## Critical Bugs Fixed

### 1. addConnection sourceIndex Bug
- Multi-output nodes (IF, Switch) now work correctly
- Changed || to ?? for proper 0 handling
- Added defensive array validation
- Improves multi-output node rating from 3/10 to 8/10

### 2. updateConnection Runtime Validation
- Prevents crashes when 'updates' object missing
- Provides helpful error with examples and suggestions
- Validates updates is an object type
- Fixes server crashes from malformed AI requests

## Testing
- Added 8 comprehensive tests (all passing)
- Covers updateConnection validation (2 tests)
- Covers sourceIndex handling (5 tests)
- Complex multi-output scenarios (1 test)
- All 126 tests passing (91.16% coverage)

## Documentation
- Updated tool docs with Phase 0 fix notes
- Added pitfalls about updateConnection limitations
- Enhanced CHANGELOG with detailed fix descriptions
- References hands-on testing analysis

## Impact
- Based on n8n-mcp-tester hands-on testing
- Overall rating improved from 4.5/10 to 6/10
- Resolves Issue #272 (updateConnection confusion)
- Resolves Issue #204 (server crashes)
