Add `extra_headers` field to `EmbeddingModelConfig` and `OpenAIDenseEmbedder`,
enabling custom HTTP headers (e.g., `HTTP-Referer`, `X-Title` required by
OpenRouter) to be passed as `default_headers` to the OpenAI client.
Also fix a dead-code bug in `OpenAIDenseEmbedder.__init__` where an
unconditional `raise ValueError("api_key is required")` prevented the
more nuanced check that allows missing `api_key` when `api_base` is set
(e.g., local OpenAI-compatible servers).
