czlonkowski 99518f71cf fix(issue-248): use unconditional empty settings object for cloud API compatibility
Issue #248 required three iterations to solve due to n8n API version differences:

1. First attempt: Whitelist filtering
   - Failed: API rejects ANY settings properties via update endpoint

2. Second attempt: Complete settings removal
   - Failed: Cloud API requires settings property to exist

3. Final solution: Unconditional empty settings object
   - Success: Satisfies both API requirements

Changes:
- src/services/n8n-validation.ts:153
  - Changed from conditional `if (cleanedWorkflow.settings)` to unconditional
  - Always sets `cleanedWorkflow.settings = {}`
  - Works for both cloud (requires property) and self-hosted (rejects properties)

- tests/unit/services/n8n-validation.test.ts
  - Updated all 4 tests to expect `settings: {}` instead of removed settings
  - Tests verify empty object approach works for all scenarios

Tested:
-  localhost workflow (wwTodXf1jbUy3Ja5)
-  cloud workflow (n8n.estyl.team/workflow/WKFeCRUjTeYbYhTf)
-  All 72 unit tests passing
