feat(noxa-68r.6): factory and TOML config

- build_embed_provider(): TEI startup probe via new_with_probe(), is_available() check
- build_vector_store(): collection create-if-missing, dims validation warning
- NOXA_RAG_QDRANT_API_KEY env var override for Qdrant api_key
- embed_concurrency > 0 validation in load_config()
- failed_jobs_log absolute path validation
- Fix config.rs: Qdrant URL is gRPC port 6334 (not 6333 REST)
