Debanjum Singh Solanky b8d3e3669a Stream Status Messages via Streaming Response from server to web client ...

- Overview
Use simpler HTTP Streaming Response to send status messages, alongside
response and references from server to clients via API.

Update web client to use the streamed response to show train of thought,
stream response and render references.

- Motivation
This should allow other Khoj clients to pass auth headers and recieve
Khoj's train of thought messages from server over simple HTTP
streaming API.

It'll also eventually deduplicate chat logic across /websocket and
/chat API endpoints and help maintainability and dev velocity

- Details
  - Pass references as a separate streaming message type for simpler
    parsing. Remove passing "### compiled references" altogether once
    the original /api/chat API is deprecated/merged with the new one
    and clients have been updated to consume the references using this
    new mechanism
  - Save message to conversation even if client disconnects. This is
    done by not breaking out of the async iterator that is sending the
    llm response. As the save conversation is called at the end of the
    iteration
  - Handle parsing chunked json responses as a valid json on client.
    This requires additional logic on client side but makes the client
    more robust to server chunking json response such that each chunk
    isn't itself necessarily a valid json.
