[memory refactor][5/n] Migrate all vector_io providers (#835)

See https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/issues/827 for the broader
design.

This PR finishes off all the stragglers and migrates everything to the
new naming.

 You should use this distribution if you have a regular desktop machine without very powerful GPUs. Of course, if you have powerful GPUs, you can still continue using this distribution since Ollama supports GPU acceleration.### Environment Variables
