fix(routing): keep embedder fingerprint stable across probed reasoning

A chat completion sent to an embedding model whose config sets
use_tokenizer_template runs the thinking probe, and persistProbedReasoning
writes the probed reasoning slots back into the shared model config.
EmbedderFingerprint hashed the whole config, so that single request moved
the fingerprint and every knn router built on the embedder failed with
ErrLiveEmbeddingMismatch (HTTP 503) until LocalAI was restarted.

Reasoning settings never change the embedding space, so leave them out of
the hash.

Docs-Not-Needed: internal fingerprint computation, no user-facing config, flag or API change
