feat(vector-io): implement global default embedding model configuration (Issue #2729)

- Add VectorStoreConfig with global default_embedding_model and default_embedding_dimension
- Support environment variables LLAMA_STACK_DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL and LLAMA_STACK_DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_DIMENSION
- Implement precedence: explicit model > global default > clear error (no fallback)
- Update VectorIORouter with _resolve_embedding_model() precedence logic
- Remove non-deterministic 'first model in run.yaml' fallback behavior
- Add vector_store_config to StackRunConfig and all distribution templates
- Include comprehensive unit tests for config loading and router precedence
- Update documentation with configuration examples and usage patterns
- Fix error messages to include 'Failed to' prefix per coding standards

Resolves deterministic vector store creation by eliminating unpredictable fallbacks
and providing clear configuration options at the stack level.
