fix(mcp): simplify filter-change loop to fix ruff C901 complexity, apply ruff formatting

`update_native_filters_config` hit complexity 11 (limit 10) after the
json.loads guard was added in the previous commit. Pre-build `deleted_ids`
set and `modified_map` dict to replace the two generator-if expressions and
the conditional append, dropping McCabe complexity from 11 to 8. No
behaviour change — tests confirm identical output.

Also apply ruff auto-format to test file (unnecessary parentheses removal).

+Unit tests for the manage_native_filters MCP tool.
+
+Follows the pattern from test_add_chart_to_existing_dashboard.py:
+- Tests run through the async MCP Client (not direct function calls)
+- Patches applied at source locations (superset.daos.dashboard.*, etc.)
+- auth is mocked via the autouse mock_auth fixture
+
+Covers:
+- Adding a filter_select filter (full config shape, scope translation)
+- Adding a filter_time filter (with default time range)
+- Updating a filter (merge produces a FULL config, not a delta)
+- Update validation (duplicate update IDs, update+remove conflict)
+- Removing a filter
+- Reordering filters (including incomplete-reorder and duplicate-ID validation)
+- Invalid dataset / column errors
+- LLM-context sanitization of user-controlled filter names / targets
+- Delimiter-escaping of operational id / filter_type fields
+- Dashboard not found
+- Permission denied (DashboardForbiddenError)
