Allow Khoj Chat to respond to general queries not in reference notes

- Khoj chat will now respond to general queries if:
  1. no relevant reference notes available or
  2. when explicitly induced by prefixing the chat message with "@general"

- Previously Khoj Chat would a lot of times refuse to respond to
  general queries not answerable from reference notes or chat history

- Make chat quality tests more robust
  - Add more equivalent chat response options refusing to answer
  - Force haiku writing to not give any preable, just the haiku
