fix: correctly decrement remaining_deps for multiple skipped parents

[jumski]

Fix remaining_deps decrement for multiple skipped parents

This PR fixes a bug where child steps with multiple skipped parent steps would not have their remaining_deps decremented correctly. Previously, when multiple parent steps were skipped simultaneously, the child's remaining_deps would only be decremented by 1 regardless of how many parents were skipped.

The fix:

• Added a new CTE skipped_parent_counts that counts how many skipped parents each child step has
• Modified the dependent_updates query to decrement remaining_deps by the actual count of skipped parents
• Added two test cases to verify the fix:
  1. multi_parent_skip_decrements_remaining_deps.test.sql - Tests that when two parent steps are skipped, the child's remaining_deps is decremented by 2
  2. multi_parent_skip_then_complete.test.sql - Tests a more complex scenario with three parents where two are skipped and one completes normally

This ensures that workflows with conditional branches properly advance when multiple parent steps are skipped in the same cascade resolution.
