refactor: Remove redundant doc comments throughout codebase

Removes module-level doc comments (//! lines) and excessive inline doc
comments that were duplicating information already evident from:
- Function/struct names (self-documenting code)
- Type signatures (the what is clear from types)
- Implementation context (the how is clear from code)

Affected modules:
- cli/* - Removed command descriptions duplicating clap help text
- core/* - Removed module headers and obvious function docs
- documents/* - Removed extractor/regenerator/truncation docs
- embedding/* - Removed pipeline and chunking docs
- gitlab/* - Removed client and transformer docs (kept type definitions)
- ingestion/* - Removed orchestrator and ingestion docs
- search/* - Removed FTS and vector search docs

Philosophy: Code should be self-documenting. Comments should explain
"why" (business decisions, non-obvious constraints) not "what" (which
the code itself shows). This change reduces noise and maintenance burden
while keeping the codebase just as understandable.

Retains comments for:
- Non-obvious business logic
- Important safety invariants
- Complex algorithm explanations
- Public API boundaries where generated docs matter
