test(algorithms): add mutual information unit tests

Test coverage for MI computation strategies:
- Structural MI via Jaccard similarity
- Type-based MI for heterogeneous graphs
- Attribute-based MI with correlation
- Edge cases: empty graph, isolated nodes, self-loops
- Single-edge computation via computeEdgeMI()
