Subject: [PATCH] fix(vector_stores): accept line-wrapped base64 in query_image
 data

Bedrock takes inlineContent wrapped with \n or \r\n line breaks, as plain base64 writes it, so the check ignores only those before decoding and the data goes to Bedrock as sent

(cherry picked from commit c2cad843b07609f3d216a46db6150c186568d595)
