Calixto Ong 11ff848b04 feat: Add SDK and cURL examples for chunk management, chat assistant, and retrieval (#4310) (#14208)
Closes #4310

### What problem does this PR solve?

Issue #4310 requests practical examples for the RAGFlow SDK and HTTP API
to help developers get started faster. The existing `example/sdk/`
folder only contains `dataset_example.py`. This PR fills the remaining
gaps by adding examples for three key API areas not yet covered in
`main` or by other open PRs (#13904, #13284):

- **Chunk management** — add, list, update, delete, and retrieve chunks
within a dataset
- **Chat assistant** — create a chat assistant, open a session, send
messages (streaming and non-streaming), and clean up
- **Retrieval** — perform semantic retrieval across one or multiple
datasets

### Type of change

- [x] Documentation Update
- [x] New Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
