fix: remove CI script and fix circular import in abs_encoder

Remove scripts/check_circular_imports.py and its Makefile references
per reviewer consensus. Move get_task import in abs_encoder.py to
function-level to break the circular import chain:
  mteb.abstasks → abstask → mteb.models → abs_encoder → get_tasks → mteb.abstasks
