Update pinecone.py

	•	Removed the unused Pinecone REST‐client import; we now only import ServerlessSpec and the gRPC client.
	•	Enhanced close()
	•	Call self.client.close() to explicitly shut down the underlying gRPC channel.
	•	Log success or a warning on failure.
	•	Still tear down the thread‐pool executor afterward.
	•	Context‐manager support
	•	Added __enter__()/__exit__() so you can do:

with PineconeClient() as client:
    client.insert(...)
# automatically calls client.close()
