Fix FastSentenceTransformer Qwen embedding preprocessing (#6939)

* Fix FastSentenceTransformer Qwen embedding preprocessing

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Document Transformer.load embedding modality fix for #6881

* Harden #6881 fix and add forwards/backwards-compatible regression tests

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Fall back to Transformer constructor on legacy sentence-transformers without Hub-capable load

* Mirror legacy sentence-transformers fallback in embedding-parity tripwire test

* Tighten #6881 comments and docstrings

* Skip embedding-parity test on CPU-only runners since FastSentenceTransformer requires CUDA

* Honor the transformer module's saved subfolder when loading

modules.json records a path for the Transformer module (root  for
decoder embedders like Qwen3-Embedding, 0_Transformer for the classic
layout). Pooling/Normalize already load from their saved path; thread the
same path into Transformer.load as subfolder so config and tokenizer
resolve like stock ST.  stays a no-op, so single-module models are
unchanged.

* Make embedding-parity test bf16-aware

fp16 overflows to NaN on bf16-native embedders such as EmbeddingGemma
(Gemma3), producing a false parity failure. Prefer bf16 when the GPU
supports it so the tripwire can guard the full documented embedding
matrix (Qwen3-Embedding, EmbeddingGemma, BGE-M3, all-MiniLM, GTE-ModernBERT),
not just fp16-safe models.

"""Regression guard for issue #6881: FastSentenceTransformer must preprocess text
like a stock SentenceTransformer for decoder embedding models. ST 5.x infers a
"message" modality for chat-template models (e.g. Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding), so building
via `Transformer(model_name, ...)` chat-wraps inputs and degrades embeddings;
`_create_transformer_module` uses `Transformer.load(...)` instead.
Layers: test_transformer_load_signature_supports_unsloth_kwargs (fast, runs when ST
is importable) and test_fast_sentence_transformer_matches_stock_st (end-to-end parity,
opt-in via UNSLOTH_EMBEDDING_PARITY_MODEL so default CI is unaffected).
