Subject: [PATCH] fix(flowiseai): switch from npm to pnpm for installation

apify-client (transitive dependency of Flowise) enforces pnpm via
a preinstall hook: 'npx only-allow pnpm'. This causes npm install -g
to fail with exit code 254 because the only-allow check detects npm
is being used.

Switch to pnpm add -g to satisfy the enforced package manager
requirement. Also replace 'npx flowise start' with 'flowise start'
in the service since the pnpm global binary is directly accessible
in PATH after setup_nodejs.

Fixes #14330
