czlonkowski 0c31f12372 feat: implement webhook path autofixer and improve node similarity service
- Add webhook path auto-generation for nodes missing path configuration
  - Generates UUID for both 'path' parameter and 'webhookId' field
  - Conditionally updates typeVersion to 2.1 only when < 2.1
  - High confidence fix (95%) as UUID generation is deterministic

- Fix critical security and performance issues in NodeSimilarityService:
  - Replace regex patterns with string-based matching to prevent ReDoS attacks
  - Add cache invalidation with version tracking to prevent memory leaks
  - Optimize Levenshtein distance algorithm from O(m*n) space to O(n)
  - Add early termination for performance improvement
  - Extract magic numbers into named constants

- Add comprehensive documentation for n8n_autofix_workflow tool
  - Document all fix types including new webhook-missing-path
  - Include examples, best practices, and warnings
  - Integrate with MCP tool documentation system

- Create node-type-utils for centralized type normalization
  - Eliminate code duplication across services
  - Consistent handling of package prefixes
