fix: prevent Swift parser loading to avoid VS Code GUI crashes

- Skip Swift parser loading in parseSourceCodeDefinitionsForFile
- Skip Swift parser loading in parseSourceCodeForDefinitionsTopLevel
- Skip Swift parser loading in languageParser.ts
- Swift files now use fallback chunking for stability
- Add tests to verify Swift fallback handling

Fixes #7308
