feat: Add memory-efficient embed_stream method for processing large datasets

This commit introduces a streaming API for embeddings that significantly reduces memory consumption when processing large datasets.

Key Features:
- New embed_stream() method in BaseCohere and V2Client classes
- StreamingEmbedParser class with incremental JSON parsing using ijson
- Configurable batch processing (default: 10 texts per batch)
- Yields embeddings one at a time instead of loading all into memory
- Supports both embeddings_floats and embeddings_by_type response formats
- Fallback to regular JSON parsing when ijson is not available

Performance Benefits:
- Reduces memory usage from O(n) to O(1) for embedding operations
- Enables processing of datasets with thousands or millions of texts
- Maintains API compatibility with existing embed() method

Implementation Details:
- src/cohere/streaming_utils.py: Core streaming parser implementation
- src/cohere/base_client.py: embed_stream() method for v1 client
- src/cohere/v2/client.py: embed_stream() method for v2 client
- Processes texts in batches and yields StreamedEmbedding objects
- Each embedding includes index, embedding data, type, and original text

Testing:
- Comprehensive test suite in tests/test_embed_streaming.py
- Tests for JSON fallback parsing
- Mock response tests for both v1 and v2 clients
- Empty input handling tests
- Real API integration tests (with skip decorator)
- Memory efficiency validation tests
- All tests passing with both mock and real API

Quality Assurance:
- Ruff linting: All checks passed
- Mypy type checking: No issues found
- Backward compatible - no changes to existing embed() method
- Type annotations with proper return types
