PSBigBig × MiniPS b7eca981d4 docs: add RAG failure modes checklist guide (refs #13138) (#13204)
### What problem does this PR solve?

This PR adds a new guide: **"RAG failure modes checklist"**.

RAG systems often fail in ways that are not immediately visible from a
single metric like accuracy or latency. In practice, debugging
production RAG applications requires identifying recurring failure
patterns across retrieval, routing, evaluation, and deployment stages.

This guide introduces a structured, pattern-based checklist (P01–P12) to
help users interpret traces, evaluation results, and dataset behavior
within RAGFlow. The goal is to provide a practical way to classify
incidents (e.g., retrieval hallucination, chunking issues, index
staleness, routing misalignment) and reason about minimal structural
fixes rather than ad-hoc prompt changes.

The change is documentation-only and does not modify any code or
configuration.
