Fix/OpenAI embeddings cosine distance (#10)

* fix: auto-detect normalized embeddings and use cosine distance

- Add automatic detection for normalized embedding models (OpenAI, Voyage AI, Cohere)
- Automatically set distance_metric='cosine' for normalized embeddings
- Add warnings when using non-optimal distance metrics
- Implement manual L2 normalization in HNSW backend (custom Faiss build lacks normalize_L2)
- Fix DiskANN zmq_port compatibility with lazy loading strategy
- Add documentation for normalized embeddings feature

This fixes the low accuracy issue when using OpenAI text-embedding-3-small model with default MIPS metric.

* style: format

* feat: add OpenAI embeddings support to google_history_reader_leann.py

- Add --embedding-model and --embedding-mode arguments
- Support automatic detection of normalized embeddings
- Works correctly with cosine distance for OpenAI embeddings

* feat: add --use-existing-index option to google_history_reader_leann.py

- Allow using existing index without rebuilding
- Useful for testing pre-built indices

* fix: Improve OpenAI embeddings handling in HNSW backend
