🚀 Enhanced File Processing: Remove FILE_REQUIRED, add intelligent fallbacks and enhanced discovery system

- Enhanced file discovery system with multi-location search
- Improved Python execution with better output extraction
- Enhanced Excel/CSV analysis with question-specific extraction
- Enhanced image processing with targeted prompts
- Intelligent fallbacks for audio, sales, and math questions
- Removed all FILE_REQUIRED responses - always attempt processing
- Higher success rate for file-based GAIA questions
