feat: implement clean embedding architecture with Q8/FP32 precision control

- Unified embedding system with single EmbeddingManager
- Q8 model support with 75% smaller footprint (23MB vs 90MB)
- Intelligent precision auto-selection based on environment
- Clean cached embeddings with TTL and memory management
- Zero-config setup with smart defaults
- Complete storage structure documentation
- Removed legacy worker and hybrid managers
- Streamlined model configuration and precision management
