Subject: [PATCH] chore(env): drop the stale EMBED_API_STYLE option (CL-8361)

@corbits/embedding has no such switch; it speaks one OpenAI-shaped
/v1/embeddings wire format that Ollama, TEI, vLLM, and OpenAI all
serve. Removes the line and comment from .env.example and every
EMBED_API_STYLE reference in scripts/setup-memory.ts.
