feat: Add jwt token authentication

[yangkyeongmo]

Add JWT token authentication to support modern Airflow deployments.

This PR introduces JWT token authentication as an alternative to basic authentication. When both are provided, JWT tokens take precedence, ensuring backward compatibility while enabling connection to Airflow instances configured for token-based access.

@cursor how about adding an example of how to generate an JWT to the README.

ENDPOINT_URL="http://localhost:8080" # Replace with your Airflow endpoint
    curl -X 'POST' \
    "${ENDPOINT_URL}/auth/token" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{ "username": "<your-username>", "password": "<your-password>" }'

I updated the project's dependency lock file and refactored test code for improved readability. These changes ensure the project uses the latest version of a core component and adheres to better code style.

• I updated the mcp-server-apache-airflow package version from 0.2.8 to 0.2.9 in uv.lock. This reflects an update to the local editable package.
• I reformatted the patch.dict calls and modules_to_clear lists within test/test_airflow_client.py. This was a cosmetic change to improve code readability by breaking long lines into multi-line structures.
