[ENHANCEMENT] Add fallback indexing for OpenEdge ABL/DF files #8130

Enhancement

Problem / Value

Projects using OpenEdge ABL are having their source files skipped by codebase indexing. Adding these extensions to the fallback indexer will include them in search and context, so users can find relevant code across their projects.

Context

Affects repositories with ABL/DF files (for example in a Src folder). Today, only certain formats like markdown and JSON are indexed, while OpenEdge files are ignored because syntax parsing isn't available. The goal is to index them using the same fixed-length chunking approach already used as a fallback.

Desired behavior

Index the following extensions using fixed-length fallback chunking (same behavior used for markdown fallback):

  • .p, .i, .w, .cls (OpenEdge ABL)
  • .df (Data Definition)

Constraints/Preferences

  • Keep it lightweight: just route these extensions to the generic fallback chunker so they're included in indexing.
  • Parser-based support can be added later when tree-sitter parsers are available and stable.
