Add AST-aware code chunking for better code understanding (#58)

* feat(core): Add AST-aware code chunking with astchunk integration

This PR introduces intelligent code chunking that preserves semantic boundaries
(functions, classes, methods) for better code understanding in RAG applications.

Key Features:
- AST-aware chunking for Python, Java, C#, TypeScript files
- Graceful fallback to traditional chunking for unsupported languages
- New specialized code RAG application for repositories
- Enhanced CLI with --use-ast-chunking flag
- Comprehensive test suite with integration tests

Technical Implementation:
- New chunking_utils.py module with enhanced chunking logic
- Extended base RAG framework with AST chunking arguments
- Updated document RAG with --enable-code-chunking flag
- CLI integration with proper error handling and fallback

Benefits:
- Better semantic understanding of code structure
- Improved search quality for code-related queries
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing workflows
- Supports mixed content (code + documentation) seamlessly

Dependencies:
- Added astchunk and tree-sitter parsers to pyproject.toml
- All dependencies are optional - fallback works without them

Testing:
- Comprehensive test suite in test_astchunk_integration.py
- Integration tests with document RAG
- Error handling and edge case coverage

Documentation:
- Updated README.md with AST chunking highlights
- Added ASTCHUNK_INTEGRATION.md with complete guide
- Updated features.md with new capabilities
