fix: improve PP-StructureV3 structure preservation for complex diagrams

- Fix parsing_res_list field mapping (block_label, block_content, block_bbox)
- Add fine-grained PP-StructureV3 configuration parameters
- Lower detection thresholds (0.5→0.2) for more sensitive element detection
- Use 'small' merge mode instead of default to minimize bbox merging
- Add layout_nms, unclip_ratio, text_det thresholds for better control
- Result: Doubled element detection from 6 to 12 elements on complex diagrams
