Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _Reranker.jinaai

The optimization introduces a **fast path for the common default case** where `model=None` by avoiding keyword argument initialization.

**Key Changes:**
- Added an explicit `if model is None:` check to return `_RerankerJinaAIConfig()` (no keyword arguments)
- Non-None models still use `_RerankerJinaAIConfig(model=model)` (keyword argument)

**Why This Improves Performance:**
In Python, constructor calls with keyword arguments have slightly more overhead than positional/default constructors due to argument parsing and dictionary lookups. The line profiler shows the optimization is most effective when `model=None` (the default case), where it eliminates the keyword argument overhead entirely.

**Test Case Performance Patterns:**
- **Best gains (7-9% faster)**: Tests with `model=None` (default case) benefit most from the fast path
- **Small losses (3-12% slower)**: Tests with non-None models have minimal overhead from the added `if` check
- **Bulk operations (2-9% faster)**: Large-scale tests show net positive gains, suggesting the default case is common in practice

The 5% overall speedup indicates that `None` values are frequent enough to make the optimization worthwhile, despite the slight penalty for non-None cases.
