Simplify embedding model support and loading (#569)
We were attempting to load SentenceTransformers by looking at the model
prefix, however SentenceTransformers can also be loaded from other
orgs in the model hub, as well as from local disk. This prefix checking
failed in those two cases. To simplify the loading logic and deciding
which wrapper to use, we’ve removed support for text_embedding tasks to
load a plain Transformer. We now only support DPR embedding models and
SentenceTransformer embedding models. If you try to load a plain
Transformer model, it will be loaded by SentenceTransformers and a mean
pooling layer will automatically be added by the SentenceTransformer
library. Since we no longer automatically support non-DPR and
non-SentenceTransformers, we should include somewhere example code for
how to load a custom model without DPR or SentenceTransformers.
