fix: prevent unnecessary reindexing after system restart

- Add retry logic for Qdrant connection on initialization
- Distinguish between connection failures and missing collections
- Only clear cache when a new collection is actually created
- Add comprehensive logging to help diagnose connection issues

This fixes the issue where the vector database index was being
recreated after every system restart, even when the collection
already existed in the Docker container.

Fixes #7408
