feat(perplexity): add PerplexityEmbeddings (#37082)

## Description

This PR adds a new `PerplexityEmbeddings` class to the
`langchain-perplexity` partner package, providing first-class support
for the Perplexity Embeddings API alongside the existing
`ChatPerplexity`, `PerplexitySearchRetriever`, and
`PerplexitySearchResults` integrations.

### What was added

- `langchain_perplexity/embeddings.py` — `PerplexityEmbeddings` class
implementing `langchain_core.embeddings.Embeddings` with sync
(`embed_documents`, `embed_query`) and async (`aembed_documents`,
`aembed_query`) methods. Defaults to model `pplx-embed-v1-4b` and reuses
the existing `_utils.initialize_client` helper for API key resolution
(`PPLX_API_KEY` / `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`).
- `__init__.py` exports `PerplexityEmbeddings` and adds it to `__all__`.
- Unit tests under `tests/unit_tests/test_embeddings.py` covering
sync/async paths with mocked clients (no network).
- Integration tests under `tests/integration_tests/test_embeddings.py`,
gated on `PPLX_API_KEY` (matches the pattern in `test_search_api.py`).
- README updated to advertise the new component.

### Why

LangChain users already get chat, search, and tool wrappers from
`langchain-perplexity`, but had to drop down to the raw Perplexity SDK
to use embeddings. This closes that gap.

### References

- Perplexity Embeddings docs: https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/embeddings
- Perplexity Embeddings API reference:
https://docs.perplexity.ai/api-reference/embeddings-post

### Issue

Closes #36726

## Testing

- `cd libs/partners/perplexity && make lint` — passes (ruff, format,
mypy).
- `cd libs/partners/perplexity && make test` — all unit tests pass (59
passed, 1 skipped).
- Integration tests will run in CI with secrets; they exercise real
`embed_documents` / `embed_query` / async variants against the live API
and assert vector dimensionality consistency.
