feat: Qdrant inline provider (#1273)
# What does this PR do?
Removed local execution option from the remote Qdrant provider and
introduced an explicit inline provider for the embedded execution.
Updated the ollama template to include this option: this part can be
reverted in case we don't want to have two default `vector_io`
providers.

(Closes #1082)

## Test Plan
Build and run an ollama distro:
```bash
llama stack build --template ollama --image-type conda
llama stack run --image-type conda ollama
```

Run one of the sample ingestionapplicatinos like
[rag_with_vector_db.py](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack-apps/blob/main/examples/agents/rag_with_vector_db.py),
but replace this line:
```py
    selected_vector_provider = vector_providers[0]
```
with the following, to use the `qdrant` provider:
```py
    selected_vector_provider = vector_providers[1]
```

After running the test code, verify the timestamp of the Qdrant store:
```bash
% ls -ltr ~/.llama/distributions/ollama/qdrant.db/collection/test_vector_db_*
total 784

Qdrant

Qdrant is an inline and remote vector database provider for Llama Stack. It allows you to store and query vectors directly in memory. That means you'll get fast and efficient vector retrieval.

By default, Qdrant stores vectors in RAM, delivering incredibly fast access for datasets that fit comfortably in memory. But when your dataset exceeds RAM capacity, Qdrant offers Memmap as an alternative.
