Leonid Ganeline b96ab4b763 docs retriever improvements (#4430)
# Docs: improvements in the `retrievers/examples/` notebooks

Its primary purpose is to make the Jupyter notebook examples
**consistent** and more suitable for first-time viewers.
- add links to the integration source (if applicable) with a short
description of this source;
- removed `_retriever` suffix from the file names (where it existed) for
consistency;
- removed ` retriever` from the notebook title (where it existed) for
consistency;
- added code to install necessary Python package(s);
- added code to set up the necessary API Key.
- very small fixes in notebooks from other folders (for consistency):
  - docs/modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/elasticsearch.ipynb
  - docs/modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/pinecone.ipynb
  - docs/modules/models/llms/integrations/cohere.ipynb
- fixed misspelling in langchain/retrievers/time_weighted_retriever.py
