Feat: Add DOCX (Word document) support to document parsing and extraction #1108

Description

@RohitR311

The problem

Maxun has a feature where users can upload a document and get back its content as text, HTML, or a list of links (soon also a summary and AI-based structured extraction). Right now this only works for PDFs, if you try to upload a Word document (.docx), it gets rejected outright since the system only lets PDFs through.

A lot of the documents people actually want data from aren't PDFs though reports, letters, and contracts are often just Word docs.

What needs to change

Add DOCX as a supported upload type and extract its text/HTML content, the same way PDFs are handled today.

What "done" looks like

A user uploads a .docx file instead of a PDF.

The system reads it and returns the content in the same output formats already supported for PDFs (markdown/html/links, plus extraction).
