fix: keep docstring-only Python chunks valid

[Elonon901001]

Summary

Fixes #12330.

When strip_docstrings=True removes the only statement in a function or class, keep the generated chunk valid by inserting an indented pass. Add a regression test that parses docstring-only functions and classes with ast.parse, plus the required release note.

Validation

• hatch run test:unit --no-cov test/components/preprocessors/test_python_code_splitter.py -q — 71 passed.
• git diff --check
