fix: add --distance-metric support to DiskANN embedding server and remove obsolete macOS ABI test markers

- Add --distance-metric parameter to diskann_embedding_server.py for consistency with other backends
- Remove pytest.skip and pytest.xfail markers for macOS C++ ABI issues as they have been fixed
- Fix test assertions to handle SearchResult objects correctly
- All tests now pass on macOS with the C++ ABI compatibility fixes
