feat: Add support for Chutes API integration

- Introduced CHUTES_API_TOKEN in .env.example files for configuration.
- Updated README.md in quickstart example to include Chutes API setup.
- Created quickstart_chutes.py example for demonstrating Chutes integration.
- Added ChutesEmbedder and ChutesClient classes for embedding and LLM functionalities.
- Updated LLM and embedder provider configurations to support Chutes.
- Enhanced factories to include Chutes client and embedder.
- Modified schema.py to define Chutes provider configuration.
- Updated mcp_server configuration files to integrate Chutes API.
- Added necessary dependencies in pyproject.toml for Chutes support.
