feat(apply): Implement EdgeConnect configuration parsing foundation

- Add comprehensive YAML configuration types for EdgeConnectConfig
- Implement robust parser with validation and path resolution
- Support both k8sApp and dockerApp configurations
- Add comprehensive test coverage with real example parsing
- Create validation for infrastructure uniqueness and port ranges
- Generate instance names following pattern: appName-appVersion-instance
