feat: migrate embeddings to Candle WASM + remove semantic type inference

Major architectural changes:

1. EMBEDDINGS ENGINE (ONNX → Candle WASM):
   - Replace ONNX Runtime with Rust Candle compiled to WASM
   - Embedded model in WASM binary (no external downloads)
   - Quantized Q8 precision with <50MB memory footprint
   - Zero-download, offline-first operation
   - Same embedding quality (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)

2. REMOVE SEMANTIC TYPE INFERENCE:
   - Delete embeddedKeywordEmbeddings.ts (14MB of pre-computed embeddings)
   - Remove typeAwareQueryPlanner.ts and semanticTypeInference.ts
   - Remove VerbExactMatchSignal (uses keyword embeddings)
   - Update SmartRelationshipExtractor to 3 signals (55%/30%/15% weights)

API CHANGES (requires v7.0.0):
- Removed: inferTypes(), inferNouns(), inferVerbs(), inferIntent()
- Removed: getSemanticTypeInference(), SemanticTypeInference class
- Removed: TypeInference, SemanticTypeInferenceOptions types

Users can still use natural language queries in find() - they just
need to specify type explicitly for type-optimized searches.

PACKAGE SIZE IMPACT:
- Compressed: 90.1 MB → 86.2 MB (-4.3%)
- Uncompressed: 114.4 MB → 100.3 MB (-12%)
- ~448K lines of code removed

+//! Candle-based sentence embeddings for WASM
+//!
+//! This crate provides WASM-compatible sentence embeddings using HuggingFace's Candle framework.
+//! It supports the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model for generating 384-dimensional embeddings.
+//!
+//! ## Features
+//! - Model weights embedded at compile time (zero runtime downloads)
+//! - Single WASM file contains everything
+//! - Works in all environments: Node.js, Bun, Bun compile, browsers
+//!
+//! ## Usage from JavaScript
+//! ```js
+//! import init, { EmbeddingEngine } from './candle_embeddings.js';
+//!
+//! await init();
+//! const engine = EmbeddingEngine.create_with_embedded_model();
+//!
+//! const embedding = engine.embed("Hello world");
+//! const embeddings = engine.embed_batch(["Hello", "World"]);
+//! ```
