feat(ingest): generate per-chunk PDFs for DOCX/TXT documents (Phase 5.3)

DOCX and TXT ingestion now produces chunk_file_path + per-chunk PDF files matching the PDF ingestion flow. Uses reportlab to render chunk text as simple PDFs with automatic text wrapping.

- Add reportlab==4.2.5 to requirements.txt
- New utils/text_to_pdf.py: generate_text_pdf() renders chunk text as PDF
- Ingest router DOCX/TXT branches: generate chunk_N.pdf per chunk, store in chunk_file_paths
- Graceful degradation: chunk_file_path stays None if PDF generation fails
- Update test_phase1_ingest_page_aware.py assertions: DOCX chunks now HAVE chunk_file_path
- New test_phase5_docx_pdf_generation.py: 5 tests (DOCX PDF gen, TXT PDF gen, PDF regression, file count, graceful degradation)
- 361 backend tests pass (4 pre-existing embedding failures unrelated)
