fix(tokenizer): load cl100k BPE table from disk instead of failing silently offline (#17712)

## Summary

RAGFlow's Go tokenizer silently returned **0 tokens for every string**
whenever the `cl100k_base` BPE table could not be loaded — which is the
normal case for an offline/air-gapped Go server. This PR makes the
loader resolve the table from disk (where RAGFlow actually ships it) and
fail loudly when it is genuinely missing.

## Root cause

`tiktoken-go`'s stock loader downloads the encoding table over HTTP and
caches it under `TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR`. That does not work for RAGFlow:

- `TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR` is exported **only inside the Python process**
(`common/token_utils.py`). `docker/entrypoint.sh` launches the Go binary
(`bin/ragflow_server`) from a shell, so the Go process never inherits
the variable.
- The Dockerfile *does* ship the table (under its sha1 name in the
working directory), but nothing told the Go side to look there.
- Reaching `openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net` at runtime is not an
option for air-gapped installs, and is unreliable where that host is
blocked.

The failure was **silent**: `NumTokensFromString` returns `0` when the
encoder fails to build, and a `sync.Once` memoizes that error for the
process lifetime. Every token count became `0`, so chunk merging never
crossed its token budget and an entire document collapsed into a single
chunk. Python has no such failure mode because its encoder is built at
import time (a missing table aborts startup instead of degrading).

## Fix

Register a local-only `BpeLoader` via `tiktoken.SetBpeLoader`
(`internal/tokenizer/bpe_loader.go`) that resolves the table from disk
**only**, in priority order:

1. `TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR` / `DATA_GYM_CACHE_DIR` (honored so operators who
already configured one keep working).
2. The working directory, the executable's directory, and all of their
ancestors — matching the Dockerfile layout (table under its sha1 name in
the install root).
3. A `ragflow_deps/<basename>` checkout produced by
`ragflow_deps/download_deps.py`.

It **never performs network I/O**. When nothing is found it returns an
error listing every path it tried (pointing at `download_deps.py` or
`TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR`), so a genuinely missing table fails loudly instead
of degrading to zero.

## Test plan

- `internal/tokenizer/bpe_loader_test.go` (unit tier, runs under `bash
build.sh --test ./internal/tokenizer/...`):
- Loader reads from `TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR`, `DATA_GYM_CACHE_DIR`, the
sha1-named file in the working dir, and the bundled `ragflow_deps/`
name.
  - Explicit cache dir wins over the bundled vocab.
  - A malformed table is reported as an error rather than skipped.
- A genuinely missing table reports the candidates it tried (no network
attempt).
- `NumTokensFromString` matches Python-derived anchors (`""`→0,
`"hello"`→1, `"hello world"`→2, `"hello, world!"`→4, `"世界"`→3, `"Hello
世界 🌍"`→8, `"RAGFlow"`→3).

## Notes

- `.github/workflows/tests.yml` currently excludes `internal/tokenizer`
from `go test`, so these tests do not run in CI. The tokenizer fix is
exercised in CI indirectly via the chunker package once a
token-count-sensitive parity case lands (tracked separately). Consider
including `internal/tokenizer` in CI as a follow-up.
- Supported deployments already ship the table (`download_deps.py` →
`ragflow_deps/cl100k_base.tiktoken`; Dockerfile → `<sha1>` in cwd), so
no `ENV` change is required for the fix to take effect. Setting `ENV
TIKTOKEN_CACHE_DIR` in the Dockerfile remains a cheap
belt-and-suspenders hardening that can be done separately.
