Fix SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows parse failures on null connection properties

[Copilot]

SYNC HELPER - Cloud Flows was failing when inventorying flows with connection references containing null id, connectionName, or displayName properties—common in Default Environments with embedded or system connections.

Changes

• Parse_Connection_JSON schema: Allow null values for id, connectionName, and displayName fields
• Parse_Connection_JSON schema: Remove required: ["id"] constraint that blocked null ID processing

Technical Details

Modified the JSON schema in the flow definition to accept both string and null types:

"id": {
  "type": ["string", "null"]
}

This allows the flow to process connection references regardless of whether metadata properties are populated, preventing "Invalid type. Expected String but got Null" errors during inventory operations.
