⚡ Performance & Enhancements (6)

Give up indexing when the embedder can't handle the load by @ManyTheFish in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6681
An adaptive strategy for rate limiting: For small usage with few documents, we accept a slow embedder service, and for big usage with updates containing thousands of documents, Meilisearch will give up early
A better outage handling, where Meilisearch will give up early if the embedder server is unavailable for too long
Support the `Retry-After` header when the value is in seconds, avoiding useless retries in a short timespan
Optimization of general search performance by @itsamine27 in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6571
Improve code correctness by using the latest version of heed by @Kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6687

### ✨ Enhancement - Introduce `sampledCount` to compute the facet distribution by @Kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6649 It is a new sorting option when retrieving the facet distribution. It is less precise than by `count` but provides a rough estimate of the facet distribution. Note that the count of documents for each facet is exhaustive but the list of facets is not and some facets that would have been listed by using the by `count` method can be ignored/skipped. - Give up indexing when the embedder can't handle the load by @ManyTheFish in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6681 - An adaptive strategy for rate limiting: For small usage with few documents, we accept a slow embedder service, and for big usage with updates containing thousands of documents, Meilisearch will give up early - A better outage handling, where Meilisearch will give up early if the embedder server is unavailable for too long - Support the `Retry-After` header when the value is in seconds, avoiding useless retries in a short timespan - Optimization of general search performance by @itsamine27 in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6571 ### 🪲 Bug fixes - Fix wrong binary quantization state after deleting embedders by @dureuill in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6679 ### 🔩 Miscellaneous - Improve code correctness by using the latest version of heed by @Kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6687 - Update README by @mayasssh in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6692 - Disallow AI Contributions by @Kerollmops in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6684 - Fix empty request body section in the settings API reference by @curquiza in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6678 - Bump rustls from 0.23.43 to 0.23.45 by @dependabot[bot] in https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/6672
