NOTE: The token_at_depth is method is a bit useless now, as the only
cases where there would be a toke at depth 1000 are the cases where
the parser already stack-overflowed earlier.

602: Use mimalloc as the default allocator r=Kerollmops a=loiclec
## What does this PR do?
Use mimalloc as the global allocator for milli's benchmarks on macOS.
## Why?
On Linux, we use jemalloc, which is a very fast allocator. But on macOS, we currently use the system allocator, which is very slow. In practice, this difference in allocator speed means that it is difficult to gain insight into milli's performance by running benchmarks locally on the Mac.
By using mimalloc, which is another excellent allocator, we reduce the speed difference between the two platforms.

556: Add EXISTS filter r=loiclec a=loiclec
## What does this PR do?
Fixes issue [#2484](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/2484) in the meilisearch repo.
It creates a `field EXISTS` filter which selects all documents containing the `field` key.
For example, with the following documents:
```json
[{
"id": 0,
"colour": []
},
{
"id": 1,
"colour": ["blue", "green"]
},
{
"id": 2,
"colour": 145238
},
{
"id": 3,
"colour": null
},
{
"id": 4,
"colour": {
"green": []
}
},
{
"id": 5,
"colour": {}
},
{
"id": 6
}]
```
Then the filter `colour EXISTS` selects the ids `[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`. The filter `colour NOT EXISTS` selects `[6]`.
## Details
There is a new database named `facet-id-exists-docids`. Its keys are field ids and its values are bitmaps of all the document ids where the corresponding field exists.
To create this database, the indexing part of milli had to be adapted. The implementation there is basically copy/pasted from the code handling the `facet-id-f64-docids` database, with appropriate modifications in place.
There was an issue involving the flattening of documents during (re)indexing. Previously, the following JSON:
```json
{
"id": 0,
"colour": [],
"size": {}
}
```
would be flattened to:
```json
{
"id": 0
}
```
prior to being given to the extraction pipeline.
This transformation would lose the information that is needed to populate the `facet-id-exists-docids` database. Therefore, I have also changed the implementation of the `flatten-serde-json` crate. Now, as it traverses the Json, it keeps track of which key was encountered. Then, at the end, if a previously encountered key is not present in the flattened object, it adds that key to the object with an empty array as value. For example:
```json
{
"id": 0,
"colour": {
"green": [],
"blue": 1
},
"size": {}
}
```
becomes
```json
{
"id": 0,
"colour": [],
"colour.green": [],
"colour.blue": 1,
"size": []
}
```

This bug is an old bug but was hidden by the proximity criterion,
Phrase search were always returning an empty candidates list.
Before the fix, we were trying to find any words[n] near words[n]
instead of finding any words[n] near words[n+1], for example:
for a phrase search '"Hello world"' we were searching for "hello" near "hello" first, instead of "hello" near "world".

The idea is to directly create a sorted and merged list of bitmaps
in the form of a BTreeMap<FieldId, RoaringBitmap> instead of creating
a grenad::Reader where the keys are field_id and the values are docids.
Then we send that BTreeMap to the thing that handles TypedChunks, which
inserts its content into the database.
When a document deletion occurs, instead of deleting the document we mark it as deleted
in the new “soft deleted” bitmap. It is then removed from the search, and all the other
endpoints.

563: Improve the `estimatedNbHits` when a `distinctAttribute` is specified r=irevoire a=Kerollmops
This PR is related to https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/2532 but it doesn't fix it entirely. It improves it by computing the excluded documents (the ones with an already-seen distinct value) before stopping the loop, I think it was a mistake and should always have been this way.
The reason it doesn't fix the issue is that Meilisearch is lazy, just to be sure not to compute too many things and answer by taking too much time. When we deduplicate the documents by their distinct value we must do it along the water, everytime we see a new document we check that its distinct value of it doesn't collide with an already returned document.
The reason we can see the correct result when enough documents are fetched is that we were lucky to see all of the different distinct values possible in the dataset and all of the deduplication was done, no document can be returned.
If we wanted to implement that to have a correct `extimatedNbHits` every time we should have done a pass on the whole set of possible distinct values for the distinct attribute and do a big intersection, this could cost a lot of CPU cycles.

The issue was that in the evaluation of the filter, I was using the deref implementation instead of calling the `value` method of my token.
To avoid the problem happening again, I removed the deref implementation; now, you need to either call the `lexeme` or the `value` methods but can't rely on a « default » implementation to get a string out of a token.

538: speedup exact words r=Kerollmops a=MarinPostma
This PR make `exact_words` return an `Option` instead of an empty set, since set creation is costly, as noticed by `@kerollmops.`
I was not convinces that this was the cause for all of the performance drop we measured, and then realized that methods that initialized it were called recursively which caused initialization times to add up. While the first fix solves the issue when not using exact words, using exact word remained way more expensive that it should be. To address this issue, the exact words are cached into the `Context`, so they are only initialized once.

514: Stop flattening every field r=Kerollmops a=irevoire
When we need to flatten a document:
* The primary key contains a `.`.
* Some fields need to be flattened
Instead of flattening the whole object and thus creating a lot of allocations with the `serde_json_flatten_crate`, we instead generate a minimal sub-object containing only the fields that need to be flattened.
That should create fewer allocations and thus index faster.

483: Enhance matching words r=Kerollmops a=ManyTheFish
# Summary
Enhance milli word-matcher making it handle match computing and cropping.
# Implementation
## Computing best matches for cropping
Before we were considering that the first match of the attribute was the best one, this was accurate when only one word was searched but was missing the target when more than one word was searched.
Now we are searching for the best matches interval to crop around, the chosen interval is the one:
1) that have the highest count of unique matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `the split the split the` has 5 matches but only 2 unique matches (1 for `split` and 1 for `the`) where the interval `split of the world` has 3 matches and 3 unique matches. So the interval `split of the world` is considered better.
2) that have the minimum distance between matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `split of the world` has a distance of 3 (2 between `split` and `the`, and 1 between `the` and `world`) where the interval `split the world` has a distance of 2. So the interval `split the world` is considered better.
3) that have the highest count of ordered matches
> for example, if we have a query `split the world`, then the interval `the world split` has 2 ordered words where the interval `split the world` has 3. So the interval `split the world` is considered better.
## Cropping around the best matches interval
Before we were cropping around the interval without checking the context.
Now we are cropping around words in the same context as matching words.
This means that we will keep words that are farther from the matching words but are in the same phrase, than words that are nearer but separated by a dot.
> For instance, for the matching word `Split` the text:
`Natalie risk her future. Split The World is a book written by Emily Henry. I never read it.`
will be cropped like:
`…. Split The World is a book written by Emily Henry. …`
and not like:
`Natalie risk her future. Split The World is a book …`

436: Speed up the word prefix databases computation time r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR depends on the fixes done in #431 and must be merged after it.
In this PR we will bring the `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids`, `WordPrefixDocids` and, `WordPrefixPositionDocids` update structures to a new era, a better era, where computing the word prefix pair proximities costs much fewer CPU cycles, an era where this update structure can use the, previously computed, set of new word docids from the newly indexed batch of documents.
---
The `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids` is an update structure, which means that it is an object that we feed with some parameters and which modifies the LMDB database of an index when asked for. This structure specifically computes the list of word prefix pair proximities, which correspond to a list of pairs of words associated with a proximity (the distance between both words) where the second word is not a word but a prefix e.g. `s`, `se`, `a`. This word prefix pair proximity is associated with the list of documents ids which contains the pair of words and prefix at the given proximity.
The origin of the performances issue that this struct brings is related to the fact that it starts its job from the beginning, it clears the LMDB database before rewriting everything from scratch, using the other LMDB databases to achieve that. I hope you understand that this is absolutely not an optimized way of doing things.

431: Fix and improve word prefix pair proximity r=ManyTheFish a=Kerollmops
This PR first fixes the algorithm we used to select and compute the word prefix pair proximity database. The previous version was skipping nearly all of the prefixes. The issue is that this fix made this method to take more time and we were trying to reduce the time spent in it.
With `@ManyTheFish` we found out that we could skip some of the work we were doing by:
- discarding the prefixes that were shorter than a specific threshold (default: 2).
- discarding the word prefix pairs with proximity bigger than a specific threshold (default: 4).
- remove the unused threshold that was specifying a minimum amount of word docids to merge.
We will take more time to do some more optimization, like stop clearing and recomputing from scratch the database, we will compute the subsets of keys to create, keep and merge. This change is a little bit more complex than what this PR does.
I keep this PR as a draft as I want to further test the real gain if it is enough or not if it is valid or not. I advise reviewers to review commit by commit to see the changes bit by bit, reviewing the whole PR can be hard.

426: Fix search highlight for non-unicode chars r=ManyTheFish a=Samyak2
# Pull Request
## What does this PR do?
Fixes https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch/issues/1480
<!-- Please link the issue you're trying to fix with this PR, if none then please create an issue first. -->
## PR checklist
Please check if your PR fulfills the following requirements:
- [x] Does this PR fix an existing issue?
- [x] Have you read the contributing guidelines?
- [x] Have you made sure that the title is accurate and descriptive of the changes?
## Changes
The `matching_bytes` function takes a `&Token` now and:
- gets the number of bytes to highlight (unchanged).
- uses `Token.num_graphemes_from_bytes` to get the number of grapheme clusters to highlight.
In essence, the `matching_bytes` function now returns the number of matching grapheme clusters instead of bytes.
Added proper highlighting in the HTTP UI:
- requires dependency on `unicode-segmentation` to extract grapheme clusters from tokens
- `<mark>` tag is put around only the matched part
- before this change, the entire word was highlighted even if only a part of it matched
## Questions
Since `matching_bytes` does not return number of bytes but grapheme clusters, should it be renamed to something like `matching_chars` or `matching_graphemes`? Will this break the API?
Thank you very much `@ManyTheFish` for helping 😄
