Changelog Entry

Description

Partially addresses the discussion here to support API calls to reranking models: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/discussions/3317
For my use case, I specifically targeted Cohere's rerank API
The cohere API is triggered by entering "cohere" into the embedding model field - alternatively, we could adopt the same "engine" approach that embeddings currently uses

Added

Ability to rerank off of Cohere's rerank API
