Alex 574f96341e refactor: rename the application package to docsgpt
The backend import package is now docsgpt, the name it will carry on PyPI;
application was far too generic to install into anyone's site-packages.
git mv plus a mechanical rewrite of every import, dotted string and path
reference: 734 Python files, the compose files, Dockerfile, workflows, docs,
setup scripts, devcontainer, k8s manifests, vscode config, pytest and coverage
config, .gitignore. Behaviour is unchanged.

Kept for one release:
- A top-level application package whose meta-path finder resolves
  application.x.y to the already-imported docsgpt.x.y object, so old imports
  and entry points (celery -A application.app.celery,
  uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app) keep working with a FutureWarning.
- Celery registers every application.* task name as an alias of its
  docsgpt.* task on start-up, so messages queued by the previous release still
  run. The redbeat key prefix moves to redbeat:docsgpt:v2: so schedule entries
  the previous release wrote are left unread instead of firing twice.

The backend image builds from the repository root (docker build -f
docsgpt/Dockerfile .) so it can ship the alias package; a root .dockerignore
allow-lists docsgpt/ and application/ and keeps caches, local data, .env
files, the sample index files and the Dockerfile out. Compose and the image
workflows point at the new context.

"""Retrieval test — preview the chunks a query actually retrieves from a source.
The chunk browser's ``search`` (``/api/get_chunks``) is a substring filter over
stored text; it says nothing about what a RAG query would retrieve. This
endpoint runs the *production* retrieval path against a single source so a user
can see the real ranked chunks for a query, and try retrieval settings without
saving them.
It deliberately builds a ``Dispatcher`` — the same object the answer pipeline
uses — so retriever selection, per-source ``chunks`` / ``score_threshold``, the
prescreen stage and the token budget all behave exactly as they do at answer
time, rather than drifting from them.
