Fix flowchart arrow parsing to support lowercase, digits, and edge text

- Added lookahead patterns for arrows followed by lowercase letters (fixes #2492)
- Added lookahead patterns for arrows followed by digits (fixes Sample 4 & 5)
- Preserved edge text functionality with pipe delimiter lookahead
- Applied fix to all arrow types: solid (--), thick (==), dotted (-.-)
- Added comprehensive test coverage (21 tests total)
