docs: update documentation for chart recognition enablement

Updates all project documentation to reflect that chart recognition
is now fully enabled with PaddlePaddle 3.2.1+.

Changes:
- README.md: Remove Known Limitations section about chart recognition,
  update tech stack and prerequisites to include PaddlePaddle 3.2.1+,
  add WSL CUDA configuration notes
- openspec/project.md: Add comprehensive chart recognition feature
  descriptions, update system requirements for GPU/CUDA support
- openspec/changes/add-gpu-acceleration-support/tasks.md: Mark task
  5.4 as completed with resolution details
- openspec/changes/add-gpu-acceleration-support/proposal.md: Update
  Known Issues section to show chart recognition is now resolved
- setup_dev_env.sh: Upgrade PaddlePaddle from 3.0.0 to 3.2.1+, add
  WSL CUDA library path configuration, add chart recognition API
  verification

All documentation now accurately reflects:
✅ Chart recognition fully enabled
✅ PaddlePaddle 3.2.1+ with fused_rms_norm_ext API
✅ WSL CUDA path auto-configuration
✅ Comprehensive PP-StructureV3 capabilities

-**Chart Recognition (PP-StructureV3)**
-
-Due to API incompatibility between PaddleOCR 3.x and PaddlePaddle 3.0.0 stable, the chart recognition feature is currently disabled:
-
-- ✅ **Works**: Layout analysis detects and extracts charts/figures as image files
-- ✅ **Works**: Tables, formulas, and text recognition function normally
-- ❌ **Disabled**: Deep chart content understanding (chart type, data extraction, axis/legend parsing)
-- ❌ **Disabled**: Converting chart content to structured data
-
-**Technical Details**:
-- The PaddleOCR-VL chart recognition model requires `paddle.incubate.nn.functional.fused_rms_norm_ext` API
-- PaddlePaddle 3.0.0 stable only provides the base `fused_rms_norm` function
-- This limitation will be resolved when PaddlePaddle releases an update with the extended API
-
-**Workaround**: Charts are saved as images and can be viewed manually. For chart data extraction, consider using specialized chart recognition tools separately.

+- **Current Status**: ✅ Chart recognition **FULLY ENABLED**
+- **API Status**: `paddle.incubate.nn.functional.fused_rms_norm_ext` now available
+- **Documentation**: See [CHART_RECOGNITION.md](../../../CHART_RECOGNITION.md) for details

-**Workaround**:

+- Upgraded system to PaddlePaddle 3.2.1+
-- Charts are saved as image files but content is not analyzed
+- Enabled chart recognition in PP-StructureV3 initialization
+- Configured WSL CUDA library paths for GPU support
+- Updated all documentation to reflect enabled status
 
-**Future Resolution**:
+**Code Location**: [backend/app/services/ocr_service.py:217](../../backend/app/services/ocr_service.py#L217)
-- Wait for PaddlePaddle 3.0.x/3.1.x update that adds `fused_rms_norm_ext` API
