feat: add enhanced operation-aware validation (v2.4.2)

- Add validate_node_operation tool with 80%+ fewer false positives
- Remove deprecated validate_node_config tool
- Add EnhancedConfigValidator with operation context filtering
- Add node-specific validators for Slack, Google Sheets, OpenAI, MongoDB
- Integrate working examples in validation responses
- Add actionable next steps and auto-fix suggestions
- Test shows Slack validation reduced from 45 errors to 1 error\!

BREAKING CHANGE: validate_node_config removed in favor of validate_node_operation
