czlonkowski bf9e1b46a3 docs: Document workflow activation limitation across skills
Add critical limitation notice that workflow activation is not supported
via API or MCP and requires manual activation in n8n UI.

Changes:
- WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md: Added prominent warning in lifecycle section with
  deployment steps for users
- SKILL.md (workflow-patterns): Added inline warning in deployment checklist
- scheduled_tasks.md: Added activation reminder in deployment checklist
- VALIDATION_GUIDE.md: Added to best practices "Do" section

Context: During practical workflow deployment, discovered that the
n8n_update_partial_workflow operation with active:true setting does not
activate workflows. This is a critical limitation that users must understand
to successfully deploy workflows built via MCP.

Locations updated (4 files):
1. skills/n8n-mcp-tools-expert/WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md (primary)
2. skills/n8n-workflow-patterns/SKILL.md (deployment phase)
3. skills/n8n-workflow-patterns/scheduled_tasks.md (deployment checklist)
4. skills/n8n-mcp-tools-expert/VALIDATION_GUIDE.md (best practices)
