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

## Test Plan
ci w/ new tests
# What does this PR do?
update VertexAI inference provider to use openai-python for
openai-compat functions
## Test Plan
```
$ VERTEX_AI_PROJECT=... uv run llama stack build --image-type venv --providers inference=remote::vertexai --run
...
$ LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=http://localhost:8321 uv run --group test pytest -v -ra --text-model vertexai/vertex_ai/gemini-2.5-flash tests/integration/inference/test_openai_completion.py
...
```
i don't have an account to test this. `get_api_key` may also need to be
updated per
