test: Fix test isolation issues caused by module reloading

Fix several tests that fail in CI due to parallel test execution and
module reloading in conftest.py.

1. test_empty_assistant_message_handling:
   - Use patch.object on factory_module.litellm instead of direct assignment
   - Ensures the correct litellm reference is modified after conftest reloads

2. test_embedding_header_forwarding_with_model_group:
   - Use patch.object on pre_call_utils_module.litellm instead of direct assignment
   - Same fix for module reloading issue

3. test_embedding_input_array_of_tokens:
   - Move mock inside test function (after fixture initializes router)
   - Add skip condition if llm_router is None
   - Fixes "AttributeError: None does not have 'aembedding'" in parallel execution

Root cause: conftest.py reloads litellm at module scope, which can cause:
- Different litellm references between test code and library code
- Global state (like llm_router) being None at decorator execution time
- isinstance checks failing due to class identity mismatches
