RIKIN BRIGHT dc398d30f8 Add FAQ section to Readme and Troubleshooting Tips to setup GCP Vertex (#1158)
Added a “Troubleshooting & Tips” section to the GCP Vertex documentation.

This section provides guidance for self-hosted users on common issues
they may encounter when setting up Google Vertex AI integration in Khoj.
Topics covered include permissions, region compatibility, prompt size
limits, API key testing, and secure key management with environment
variables. The goal is to improve the onboarding experience and reduce
setup errors for contributors and self-hosters using Vertex AI models
like Claude and Gemini.
