feat: Add Google Gemini API support for chat and embeddings

- Add GeminiChat class with gemini-2.5-flash model support
- Add compute_embeddings_gemini function with text-embedding-004 model
- Update get_llm factory to support "gemini" type
- Update API documentation to include gemini embedding mode
- Support temperature, max_tokens, top_p parameters for Gemini chat
- Support batch embedding processing with progress bars
- Add proper error handling and API key validation
