feat(apply): Implement deployment planning with intelligent state comparison

Phase 2 Complete: Deployment Planning
- Add comprehensive deployment plan types with action tracking
- Implement EdgeConnectPlanner with state comparison logic
- Support manifest hash calculation and change detection
- Add parallel infrastructure target planning
- Create deployment summary generation with duration estimates
- Include comprehensive test coverage with mock scenarios
- Handle API errors and edge cases gracefully

Features:
- Smart comparison of current vs desired state
- Minimal API calls through batched queries
- Support for dry-run planning operations
- Detailed deployment summaries with resource counts
- Extensible action types (CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE, NONE)
