Subject: [PATCH] feat(openwebui): add web search config and pipelines secret

- Introduce `PIPELINES_API_KEY` in the secrets file to secure pipelines communication
- Replace hardcoded RAG and web search URLs with template variables, enabling flexible configuration
- Add new template variables (`ENABLE_WEB_SEARCH`, `WEB_SEARCH_ENGINE`, `WEB_LOADER_ENGINE`, `SEARXNG_QUERY_URL`, `EXTERNAL_WEB_LOADER_URL`) with defaults
- Include OpenWebUI secret env file in the service definition for consistent secret injection
- Set `ENABLE_PERSISTENT_CONFIG` to false to align with the parametrized deployment approach

These changes decouple service endpoints from the deployment template, allowing users to easily customize web search and RAG integrations without modifying service definitions.
