Text Embeddings Interface (TEI) as a Reranker #1701

Validations

[X] I believe this is a way to improve. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
[X] I'm not able to find an open issue that requests the same enhancement

Problem

TEI provides a /rerank endpoint which could be implemented as one of the rerankers, since there are currently a lot of available open source models that perform quite well such as e.g. jinaai/jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual.

Solution

Add a simple wrapper around the defined /rerank endpoint.

Definitely a good idea, thanks for pointing this out!
