perf: eliminate second document queryset scan in classifier train()

Capture doc.content during the label extraction loop so the document
queryset is iterated exactly once per training run.

Previously CountVectorizer.fit_transform() consumed a content_generator()
that re-evaluated the same docs_queryset, causing a second full table
scan. At 5k docs this wasted ~2.4 s and doubled DB I/O on every train.

Remove content_generator(); replace with a generator expression over
the in-memory doc_contents list collected during Step 1.
