5254: Granular Filterable attribute settings r=ManyTheFish a=ManyTheFish

**Issue:** https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/5163
**PRD:** https://meilisearch.notion.site/API-usage-Settings-to-opt-out-indexing-features-filterableAttributes-1764b06b651f80aba8bdf359b2df3ca8
# Summary
Change the `filterableAttributes` settings to let the user choose which facet feature he wants to activate or not.
Deactivating a feature will avoid some database computation in the indexing process and save time and disk size.
# Example
`PATCH /indexes/:index_uid/settings`
```json
{
"filterableAttributes": [
{
"patterns": [
"cattos",
"doggos.age"
],
"features": {
"facetSearch": false,
"filter": {
"equality": true,
"comparison": false
}
}
}
]
}
```
# Impact on the codebase
- Settings API:
- `/settings`
- `/settings/filterable-attributes`
- OpenAPI
- may impact the LocalizedAttributesRules due to the AttributePatterns factorization
- Database:
- Filterable attributes format changed
- Faceted field_ids are no more stored in the database
- FieldIdsMap has no more unexisting fields
- Search:
- Search using filters
- Facet search
- `Attributes` ranking rule
- Distinct attribute
- Facet distribution
- Settings reindexing:
- searchable
- facet
- vector
- geo
- Document indexing:
- searchable
- facet
- vector
- geo
- Dump import
