feat(ai): add reranker touchpoint to LiteLLM proxy recipe (takeover of #2455)

LiteLLM normalizes Cohere/Voyage/Jina rerank backends to the wire shape
gateway.rerank() already speaks, so a reranker touchpoint on the litellm
recipe makes any proxied rerank model reachable via
`search.reranker.model litellm:<model>` with no adapter.

Repairs from the original PR:
- path is the LEAF '/rerank' (not '/v1/rerank'): LiteLLM serves both
  /rerank and /v1/rerank, and the recipe's setup_hint allows
  LITELLM_BASE_URL with or without the /v1 suffix — pinning '/v1/rerank'
  doubled to /v1/v1/rerank (404) on /v1-suffixed bases.
- setup_hint appends the rerank guidance to master's current line instead
  of replacing it with a stale pre-/v1-suffix version.
- cost_per_1m_tokens_usd stays undefined (pricing-unknown), matching the
  recipe's embedding/chat touchpoints and budget-tracker's deliberate
  litellm exclusion from the free-provider sets (a proxy can front a paid
  provider; the touchpoint field isn't consumed by rerank pricing anyway).

Test drives gateway.rerank()'s real URL builder via the stubbed transport
for both base-URL forms; the /v1-suffixed case fails with the original
PR's path.
