Siddharth Kumar Sah f71c3c8c05 fix(ocr): update PaddleOCR for v3 API and add Tesseract fallback
Fix PaddleOCR crash by removing deprecated parameters (use_angle_cls,
show_log, cls) that were removed in PaddleOCR v3. Add graceful
fallback to Tesseract when PaddleOCR fails at runtime, so users
always get OCR results without errors.
