feat(debug): replace websocket with ComfyUI UI system for metadata display

- Update DebugMetadata node to return metadata via ComfyUI's UI system instead of websocket
- Add new JsonDisplayWidget Vue component for displaying metadata in the UI
- Remove dependency on PromptServer and websocket communication
- Improve error handling with proper UI feedback
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing metadata collection system
