James BruntonandGitHub 5541dd666c Flesh out RAG system (#6197)
# Description of Changes
Flesh out the RAG system and connect it to the PDF Question Agent so it
can respond to questions about PDFs of an extremely large size.

I'd expect lots more work will need to be done to finish off the RAG
system to really be what we need, but this should be a reasonable start
which will let us connect it to tools and have the ingestion mostly
handled automatically. I'm leaving file deletion and proper file ID
management to be done in a future PR. We also need to consider whether
all tools should retrieve content exclusively via RAG, or whether it's
beneficial to have tools sometimes fetch the direct content and other
times fetch it from RAG.

A diagram of the expected interaction is as follows:
