To ease the administrative burden of enabling the embeddings model, this change introduces automatic backfill when the setting is enabled. It also moves the topic visit embedding creation to a lower priority queue in sidekiq and adds an option to skip embedding computation and persistence when we match on the digest.
* 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
