feat: implement data ingestion and processing pipeline

- Add complete document parsing, chunking, and ingestion pipeline
- Support for .txt and .md file formats
- Character-based chunking with configurable overlap
- Reproducible results with fixed seed (42)
- Comprehensive test suite (19 new tests, all passing)
- Flask /ingest endpoint for corpus processing
- Successfully processes 98 chunks from 22 policy documents
- Follows TDD approach with 100% test coverage

Completes milestone 4 (Data Ingestion and Processing) from project plan.

Tests: 22/22 passing
Coverage: Document parser, chunker, integration pipeline, Flask endpoint
