    fix: old workflows failing to run after input port field rename (#4379)
    
    ### What changes were proposed in this PR?
    This PR adds a backward-compatibility fix for older saved workflows that
    still contain the legacy allowMultiInputs field in serialized input port
    definitions.
    
    After the input port model was changed to use disallowMultiInputs, older
    workflow JSON in the database could no longer be deserialized correctly
    and workflow execution failed with an UnrecognizedPropertyException.
    This PR updates backend deserialization for PortDescription to ignore
    the obsolete allowMultiInputs field so those existing workflows can
    still run without requiring migration or manual cleanup.
    
    We can remove this change later.
    
    ### Any related issues, documentation, discussions?
    Closes #4378
    
    ### How was this PR tested?
    Tested with the workflow generated by an older version of Texera (before
    PR #4342).
    
    
    ### Was this PR authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
    No.
