n8n node to interact with Ansible AWX/Tower with improved type safety

# CRITICAL: Parameter Naming Rules for Inventory Get

For any "get" operation on the Inventory resource in AWX via n8n:

- **Always provide either the `inventoryId` or the `inventoryName` parameter** (never both, never neither).
- Use `inventoryId` if you know the inventory's numeric ID.
- Use `inventoryName` (as a string) if you know the inventory's name.
- **Never use only `id` or only `name`—the parameter names must be exactly `inventoryId` or `inventoryName`.**

## Examples

**Get by Name:**
```json
{
  "resource": "inventory",
  "action": "get",
  "inventoryName": "Production"
}
```

**Get by ID:**
```json
{
  "resource": "inventory",
  "action": "get",
  "inventoryId": "123"
}
```

## Guidance

- If neither parameter is provided, the operation will fail with:  
  `Error in inventory operation: Either Inventory ID or Inventory Name must be provided for the Get action`
- If both are provided, only the ID will be used.
- This rule ensures compatibility with the n8n AWX node backend and prevents schema validation errors.
