Add comprehensive tests for query parsing and Reciprocal Rank Fusion

- Implemented tests for the QueryParser class, covering various identifier splitting methods (CamelCase, snake_case, kebab-case), OR expansion, and FTS5 operator preservation.
- Added parameterized tests to validate expected token outputs for different query formats.
- Created edge case tests to ensure robustness against unusual input scenarios.
- Developed tests for the Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) algorithm, including score computation, weight handling, and result ranking across multiple sources.
- Included tests for normalization of BM25 scores and tagging search results with source metadata.
