build(docker): pin onnxruntime threads in the image

OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 capped torch in the old image, but FastEmbed runs on
onnxruntime, which ignores it and sizes its pool to the host's core count.
A CPU-limited container still reports every host core, so embedding ran with
64 threads on a 4-CPU sandbox and took up to 12x longer per file. The image
now sets EMBEDDINGS_THREADS=4 next to the existing caps; the settings guide
documents the knob.
