Allow direct connections to ollama for users, now only direct connections can be created to openai, by allowing direct connections the user can connect to his own ollama server without having to install openwebui.
if an option is also implemented to be able to share these connections on the openwebui server with the rest of the users, it would greatly increase the possibilities of creating powerful shared openwebui network nodes.
