The OpenAI Python client (v1.x) automatically sends encoding_format: base64 in embedding requests. This was causing UnsupportedParamsError for Gemini embeddings because encoding_format was not in the list of supported params.
This fix adds encoding_format to the supported params list for Vertex AI embeddings. The parameter is accepted but not passed to the Gemini API since Gemini doesn't support it.
Fixes the issue where users get:
litellm.UnsupportedParamsError: gemini does not support parameters: {'encoding_format': 'base64'}
