feat(TRUEREF-0018): implement embedding provider configuration UI

- Full settings page replacing placeholder with embedding provider selector
- Provider presets: OpenAI, Ollama, Azure OpenAI
- Test Connection button via POST /api/v1/settings/embedding/test
- Warning banner for FTS5-only mode when provider=none
- Local model availability probe (@xenova/transformers)
