Add 'truncate' parameter for CohereEmbeddings (#798)

Currently, the 'truncate' parameter of the cohere API is not supported.

This means that by default, if trying to generate and embedding that is
too big, the call will just fail with an error (which is frustrating if
using this embedding source e.g. with GPT-Index, because it's hard to
handle it properly when generating a lot of embeddings).
With the parameter, one can decide to either truncate the START or END
of the text to fit the max token length and still generate an embedding
without throwing the error.

In this PR, I added this parameter to the class.

_Arguably, there should be a better way to handle this error, e.g. by
optionally calling a function or so that gets triggered when the token
limit is reached and can split the document or some such. Especially in
the use case with GPT-Index, its often hard to estimate the token counts
for each document and I'd rather sort out the troublemakers or simply
split them than interrupting the whole execution.
Thoughts?_
