feat(retrieval): add LLM-based query complexity detection with heuristic fallback

Add comprehensive query complexity detection system that uses LLM
classification when available, falling back to heuristic rules.
Supports both English and Chinese queries with improved word counting
for CJK characters. The complexity detector now accepts an optional
LLM client for accurate classification while maintaining backward
compatibility with rule-based detection.

- Add LLM-based complexity detection using pilot's LLM client
- Implement heuristic fallback with enhanced keyword matching
- Support Chinese language complexity indicators
- Add proper CJK character word counting estimation
- Update analyze stage to use LLM-enhanced complexity detection
- Create new pilot complexity module with JSON response parsing
- Include comprehensive test coverage for both approaches
