Replace custom models with BLIP-VQA

"""
PretrainedVQA β€” BLIP-VQA wrapper with the same interface as ProductionEnsembleVQA.
Replaces the custom-trained .pt models with Salesforce/blip-vqa-base (~75% VQA-v2 accuracy).
The neuro-symbolic pipeline, API endpoints, and response format are completely unchanged.
