Remove embedding from Document

 - This PR removes the reference of `embedding` from the `Document` object.
   - The Document is designed to contain the content and its metadata but not the embedding representation of its content. This provides clear separation of concern.
   - Prior to this change, all the vector stores are updated by not depending on the embedding from Document. Instead, use the embedding values returned by the Embedding Models directly: #1826

Resolves #1781
