feat: implement multi-tenant support with dynamic tool registration

Implements comprehensive multi-tenant support to fix n8n API tools not being dynamically registered when instance context is provided via headers. Includes critical security and performance improvements identified during code review.

Changes:
- Add ENABLE_MULTI_TENANT configuration option for dynamic instance support
- Fix tool registration to check instance context in addition to env vars
- Implement session isolation strategies (instance-based and shared)
- Add validation for instance context creation from headers
- Enhance security logging with sanitized sensitive data
- Add locking mechanism to prevent race conditions in session switches
- Improve URL validation to handle edge cases (localhost, IPs, ports)
- Include configuration hash in session IDs to prevent collisions
- Add type-safe header extraction with MultiTenantHeaders interface
- Add comprehensive test scripts for multi-tenant scenarios

Fixes issue where "Method not found" errors occurred in multi-tenant deployments because n8n API tools weren't being registered dynamically based on instance context.
