fix(nlp): drop dead re.I from delimiter finditer calls (#17386)

Closes #17384.

## Summary

Drops a dead `re.I` flag from two outlier delimiter-parsing sites and
adds regression tests so the inconsistency can't creep back.

## What's wrong

Two of the six delimiter-parsing implementations pass `re.I` to
`re.finditer`:

- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::get_delimiters` (line 1633)
- `deepdoc/parser/txt_parser.py::parser_txt` (line 51)

The other four implementations correctly omit `re.I`:

- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::naive_merge` custom-delimiter path (line 1195)
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::naive_merge_with_images` custom-delimiter path
(line 1269)
- `rag/nlp/__init__.py::_build_cks` (line 1389)
- `rag/flow/chunker/token_chunker.py` (line 73)

## Why this matters (and why it doesn't break anything)

The flag is **dead code** today. Verified empirically with a Python
REPL:

```python
>>> import re
>>> for m in re.finditer(r"`([^`]+)`", "`end`", re.I):
...     print(repr(m.group(1)))
'end'                           # plain string, no flag attached
>>> re.split("(a)", "Class A is a Sample")
['Cl', 'a', '', 's', ' A i', 's', ' a Sample']
# Case-sensitive: only lowercase 'a' splits. Uppercase 'A' is preserved.
```

`re.I` does not propagate from `re.finditer` to `m.group(1)` or to
downstream `re.split` / `re.match` calls (which all omit `re.I`). So the
actual splitting behavior has always been case-sensitive — removing the
flag is a **defensive cleanup**, not a behavioral fix.

So why bother?

1. **Consistency** — the two sites were the only outliers in a six-way
implementation cluster. The three sibling sites in `rag/nlp/__init__.py`
already omit `re.I`, which strongly suggests the flag was accidental.
2. **Future-proofing** — a refactor could easily propagate the flag to a
downstream `re.split` call where it *would* change behavior. The tests
added here pin the case-sensitive semantics so that regression fails
loudly.
3. **Reader clarity** — the flag is misleading. Anyone reading
`re.finditer(..., re.I)` reasonably assumes case-insensitive matching,
then has to trace all downstream calls to discover it's a no-op.

## Changes

- `rag/nlp/__init__.py` — drop `re.I` from `get_delimiters` (line 1633).
- `deepdoc/parser/txt_parser.py` — drop `re.I` from `parser_txt` (line
51).
- `test/unit_test/rag/test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py` — new test file
with:
- 4 behavioral tests on `get_delimiters` (pattern output + `re.split`
round-trip).
- 3 end-to-end tests through `naive_merge` (bare-char +
backtick-wrapped, both cases).
- 2 parametrized static checks that `re.I` / `re.IGNORECASE` is not
present at either of the two `re.finditer` sites.

## Testing

```
$ pytest test/unit_test/rag/test_delimiter_case_sensitive.py -v
============================= 9 passed in 0.19s ==============================
```

All tests pass on the patched code. Before the patch, the 2 static
checks fail with a clear assertion message (the 7 behavioral tests pass
either way, confirming `re.I` was dead code).

## Related

- #17384 — the issue this PR closes. Note the issue's reproduction code
(`re.split(..., flags=re.I)`) doesn't actually match what the production
code does — the production `re.split` calls all omit `re.I`, which is
why current behavior is already case-sensitive. The fix here is still
valuable as a defensive cleanup + test coverage, but it's not a
behavioral fix per se.
- #17383 — broader parser consolidation (six implementations → one). The
fix here is independent and small enough to land first.
- #17385 — sibling UX PR (tooltip + live preview). Files are disjoint
(`web/src/**` vs `rag/nlp/**` + `deepdoc/parser/**`), so no interaction.
