fix: remove none value keys from flattened dictionary (#2442)
When a partitioned or embedded document json has null values, those get
converted to a dictionary with None values.
This happens in the metadata. I have not see it in other keys.
Chroma and Pinecone do not like those None values.
`flatten_dict` has been modified with a `remove_none` arg to remove keys
with None values.
Also, Pinecone has been pinned at 2.2.4 because at 3.0 and above it
breaks our code.
