fix: resolve SplitInBatches output confusion for AI assistants (#97)

Browse Source 
## Problem
AI assistants were consistently connecting SplitInBatches node outputs backwards because:
- Output index 0 = "done" (runs after loop completes)
- Output index 1 = "loop" (processes items inside loop)
This counterintuitive ordering caused incorrect workflow connections.

## Solution
Enhanced the n8n-mcp system to expose and clarify output information:

### Database & Schema
- Added `outputs` and `output_names` columns to nodes table
- Updated NodeRepository to store/retrieve output information

### Node Parsing
- Enhanced NodeParser to extract outputs and outputNames from nodes
- Properly handles versioned nodes like SplitInBatchesV3

### MCP Server
- Modified getNodeInfo to return detailed output descriptions
- Added connection guidance for each output
- Special handling for loop nodes (SplitInBatches, IF, Switch)

### Documentation
- Enhanced DocsMapper to inject critical output guidance
- Added warnings about counterintuitive output ordering
- Provides correct connection patterns for loop nodes

### Workflow Validation
- Added validateSplitInBatchesConnection method
- Detects reversed connections and provides specific errors
- Added checkForLoopBack with depth limit to prevent stack overflow
- Smart heuristics to identify likely connection mistakes

## Testing
- Created comprehensive test suite (81 tests)
- Unit tests for all modified components
- Edge case handling for malformed data
- Performance testing with large workflows

## Impact
AI assistants will now:
- See explicit output indices and names (e.g., "Output 0: done")
- Receive clear connection guidance
- Get validation errors when connections are reversed
- Have enhanced documentation explaining the correct pattern

Fixes #97

## CRITICAL OUTPUT CONNECTION INFORMATION
**⚠️ OUTPUT INDICES ARE COUNTERINTUITIVE ⚠️**
The SplitInBatches node has TWO outputs with specific indices:
- **Output 0 (index 0) = "done"**: Receives final processed data when loop completes
- **Output 1 (index 1) = "loop"**: Receives current batch data during iteration
### Correct Connection Pattern:
1. Connect nodes that PROCESS items inside the loop to **Output 1 ("loop")**
2. Connect nodes that run AFTER the loop completes to **Output 0 ("done")**
3. The last processing node in the loop must connect back to the SplitInBatches node
### Common Mistake:
AI assistants often connect these backwards because the logical flow (loop first, then done) doesn't match the technical indices (done=0, loop=1).
