Summary

Fixes: #22358
This PR installs the fonts-noto-cjk package in the api/Dockerfile to fix a regression where text extraction from certain CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) PDFs results in empty content.
Problem:
The PDF processing library, pypdfium2, requires system fonts to correctly render and extract text from PDFs that do not have their fonts embedded. Without these fonts, the text extraction process fails silently, marking the document as "completed" but with empty or incomplete
content.

Cause of Regression:
This issue is a regression introduced in PR #15837, which removed the fonts-noto-cjk package. The removal was intended to clean up dependencies for the matplotlib tool after it was migrated to a plugin. However, this overlooked the implicit dependency that pypdfium2 has on these
system fonts for its core functionality.

Solution:
By re-adding the fonts-noto-cjk package, this change ensures reliable text extraction for a wider range of PDF documents, restoring the previous functionality and resolving the regression. A comment has been added to the Dockerfile to clarify why this package is necessary, preventing
future accidental removal.
