Fix/bedrock issues (#2718)

### What problem does this PR solve?

Adding a Bedrock API key for Claude Sonnet was broken. I find the issue
came up when trying to test the LLM configuration, the system is a
required parameter in boto3.

As well, there were problems in Bedrock implementation for embeddings
when trying to encode queries.
