cleanjunc 38f9ea5fec fix(rerank): normalize reranker scores onto a single scale before hybrid blend (#15429)
### What problem does this PR solve?

Closes #15428

The hybrid score in `rag/nlp/search.py` (`rerank_by_model`) blends
reranker similarity with token similarity on a fixed `[0, 1]` scale:

```python
return tkweight * np.array(tksim) + vtweight * vtsim + rank_fea  # tkweight=0.3, vtweight=0.7
```

The reranker implementations did not agree on that scale. Only three of
roughly 17 providers normalized their output, and `NvidiaRerank`
returned raw, unbounded logits. Weighted at `0.7`, a negative logit
could push a genuinely relevant chunk below pure keyword matches, and
its magnitude swamped `tksim`, which lives in `[0, 1]`. The practical
effect was that the same query produced differently scaled scores
depending on the configured reranker, and logit based providers degraded
retrieval quality instead of improving it.

This PR enforces a single scoring contract in one place:

- `Base.similarity` is now the only public entry point. It
short-circuits empty input and guarantees a normalized result. Each
provider implements its raw scoring in `_compute_rank`, which removes
sixteen duplicated empty input guards and the three scattered
normalization calls.
- Normalization is range aware. Providers that already return calibrated
`[0, 1]` relevance scores (Cohere, Jina, Voyage, and others) keep their
absolute magnitudes, so `similarity_threshold` filtering and the
reported `vector_similarity` stay meaningful. Only out-of-range output
such as NVIDIA logits is min-max rescaled into `[0, 1]`.
- The twelve leftover `[DEBUG ...]` prints in `rerank_by_model`,
introduced in #14231, are removed. They ran on every retrieval, added
per chunk overhead, and leaked queries, keywords, and document content
to stdout and logs.

A new regression suite in
`test/unit_test/rag/llm/test_rerank_normalization.py` covers logit
rescaling (positive, negative, and flat batches), preservation of
already calibrated scores, ordering, empty input handling, and the per
provider HTTP path. It also asserts that no provider overrides
`similarity()`, so the contract cannot silently drift.
