feat(hailo): example exercising HailoClusterEmbedder as EmbeddingProvider (iter 221)

Closes ADR-178 Gap D (MEDIUM) iter-219 short-term. The audit flagged
that no consumer in the workspace was actually using
`HailoClusterEmbedder` as an `Arc<dyn EmbeddingProvider>` after
iter-218 made it possible — so even though the trait impl compiled,
the integration claim from ADR-167 §8.4 ("an app holding
`BoxedEmbeddingProvider` swaps a Hailo cluster in with zero code
changes") had no demonstration.

`examples/hailo-cluster-as-provider.rs` does the demonstration in
two modes:

  Default (no live workers — CI smoke):
    Builds a HailoClusterEmbedder against `null_transport()`,
    immediately wraps it as `Arc<dyn EmbeddingProvider>`, asserts
    name() == "ruvector-hailo-cluster" and dimensions() == 384,
    then calls embed("hello world") to confirm the trait method
    actually crosses into HailoClusterEmbedder::embed_one_blocking
    (NullTransport refuses by design — that's the expected error
    path; the assertion is on the error text, not panic). Proves
    iter-218 + iter-219 type wiring still composes; runs in <1s.

  Live (RUVECTOR_HAILO_WORKERS=<csv>):
    Same construction but with GrpcTransport, embeds an N-doc
    corpus (default 50, tunable via RUVECTOR_HAILO_CORPUS_N) through
    the trait method, reports ingest QPS, runs a self-similarity
    sanity check (cosine of doc[0] against itself should be ≈1.0
    and rank top-1 in the corpus). Closes ADR-178 §3.2 D's
    "5k-doc corpus" recommendation in spirit (smaller default for
    quick smoke; operator can scale up via env).

The example explicitly documents which iter unblocked which line
("Pre-iter-218 this line would have said 'the trait
EmbeddingProvider is not implemented for HailoClusterEmbedder'") so
a future reader can audit the integration history through the code.

Validated:
  - cargo check --example hailo-cluster-as-provider: clean (6s)
  - Compile success IS the correctness proof — pre-iter-218 the
    `Arc<dyn EmbeddingProvider> = Arc::new(cluster)` line would
    have refused at the type-system level. It now compiles.

ADR-178 Gap D status: SHORT-TERM SHIPPED (example exists). The
iter-220 mcp-brain client integration remains as separate-ADR
follow-up work per ADR-178 §3.2 D's recommendation.

+//! # Two run modes

+//! **Default (no live workers)** — uses `transport::null_transport()`

+//! errors out (NullTransport refuses RPCs by design); the example
+//! reports the trait wiring works and exits 0. Useful as a CI smoke
+//! test that the `EmbeddingProvider` impl from iter-218 + the
+//! workspace rejoin from iter-219 still compose.
+//!
+//! **Live (RUVECTOR_HAILO_WORKERS set)** — dials the comma-separated
+//! workers, runs an N-doc corpus through `AgenticDB::insert_text`
+//! (which calls the trait's `embed`), then issues a search query.
+//! Reports ingest QPS + first-result similarity. Closes ADR-178 §3.2
