community[patch]: allow additional kwargs in MlflowEmbeddings for compatibility with Cohere API (#15242)

- **Description:** add support for kwargs in`MlflowEmbeddings`
`embed_document()` and `embed_query()` so that all the arguments
required by Cohere API (and others?) can be passed down to the server.
  - **Issue:** #15234 
- **Dependencies:** MLflow with MLflow Deployments (`pip install
mlflow[genai]`)

**Tests**
Now this code [adapted from the
docs](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/providers/mlflow#embeddings-example)
for the Cohere API works locally.

```python
"""
Setup
-----
export COHERE_API_KEY=...
mlflow deployments start-server --config-path examples/deployments/cohere/config.yaml

Run
---
python /path/to/this/file.py
"""
embeddings = MlflowCohereEmbeddings(target_uri="http://127.0.0.1:5000", endpoint="embeddings")
print(embeddings.embed_query("hello")[:3])
print(embeddings.embed_documents(["hello", "world"])[0][:3])
```

Output
```
