Changelog Entry

Description

At present, when user asks a question against a knowledge collection or with web-search tool, QUERY_GENERATION_PROMPT_TEMPLATE may be used to break down the question and then search in the collection or the web. The user is unable to see what queries were made. This makes it difficult to understand why a source was fetched, cannot know what/how many queries the original question was broken into, cannot see impact of template change on queries easily. Showing the actual queries sent will help solve these.

This PR shows users what queries were actually sent to database for RAG and web-search. It is solves the problems mentioned above.

Added

Show generated sub-queries along sources in citation for RAG and web-search.
