feat: improve semantic search with query expansion and keyword boosting

Level 1 search improvements:
- Add SearchEnhancer service with LLM-powered query expansion
- Extract rich metadata (docstrings, params, return types) for embeddings
- Implement keyword boosting for function name matching
- Add reranking to combine semantic + keyword scores

Results: 39% → 64% match accuracy on authentication queries

Technical changes:
- New: backend/services/search_enhancer.py
- Modified: indexer_optimized.py (rich embedding text, query expansion, reranking)
- Added SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY to docker-compose.yml
- Added EMBEDDING_MODEL config to .env.example
