We are adding a new method for generating and storing embeddings in bulk, which relies on `Concurrent::Promises::Future`. Generating an embedding consists of three steps:
Prepare text
HTTP call to retrieve the vector
Save to DB.
Each one is independently executed on whatever thread the pool gives us.
We are bringing a custom thread pool instead of the global executor since we want control over how many threads we spawn to limit concurrency. We also avoid firing thousands of HTTP requests when working with large batches.
People tend to keep to 1 persona when working with the bot,
this adds local browser memory for the last persona you interacted
with so you do not need to select it over and over again.
This is per browser, not per user memory.
Also... clean up tests so they do not need to require stubs which
were breaking the build

* 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
