feat: add static embedding metadata to dynamic model listings for providers using OpenAIMixin

- remove auto-download of ollama embedding models
- add embedding model metadata to dynamic listing w/ unit test
- add support and tests for allowed_models
- removed inference provider models.py files where dynamic listing is enabled
- store embedding metadata in embedding_model_metadata field on inference providers
- make model_entries optional on ModelRegistryHelper and LiteLLMOpenAIMixin
- make OpenAIMixin a ModelRegistryHelper
- skip base64 embedding test for remote::ollama, always returns floats
- only use OpenAI client for ollama model listing
- remove unused build_model_entry function
- remove unused get_huggingface_repo function
