In https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24740, `min_trust_to_create_topic` site setting was replaced by `create_topic_allowed_groups`. This PR replaces the former, deprecated one, with the latter.
* FEATURE: HyDE-powered semantic search.
It relies on the new outlet added on discourse/discourse#23390 to display semantic search results in an unobtrusive way.
We'll use a HyDE-backed approach for semantic search, which consists on generating an hypothetical document from a given keywords, which gets transformed into a vector and used in a asymmetric similarity topic search.
This PR also reorganizes the internals to have less moving parts, maintaining one hierarchy of DAOish classes for vector-related operations like transformations and querying.
Completions and vectors created by HyDE will remain cached on Redis for now, but we could later use Postgres instead.
* Missing translation and rate limiting

TopicQuery already provides a lot of safeguards and options for filtering topic, and enforcing permissions. It makes sense to rely on it as other plugins like discourse-assign do.
As a bonus, we now have access to the current_user while serializing these topics, so users will see things like unread posts count just like we do for the lists.
