Most of these are calling clone when the struct supports Copy.
Many are using & and &mut on `self` when the function they are called
from already has an immutable or mutable borrow so this isn't needed.
I tried to stay away from actual changes or places where I'd have to
name fresh variables.
635: Use an unstable algorithm for `grenad::Sorter` when possible r=Kerollmops a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## What does this PR do?
Use an unstable algorithm to sort the internal vector used by `grenad::Sorter` whenever possible to speed up indexing.
In practice, every time the merge function creates a `RoaringBitmap`, we use an unstable sort. For every other merge function, such as `keep_first`, `keep_last`, etc., a stable sort is used.

587: Word prefix pair proximity docids indexation refactor r=Kerollmops a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## What does this PR do?
Refactor the code of `WordPrefixPairProximityDocIds` to make it much faster, fix a bug, and add a unit test.
## Why is it faster?
Because we avoid using a sorter to insert the (`word1`, `prefix`, `proximity`) keys and their associated bitmaps, and thus we don't have to sort a potentially very big set of data. I have also added a couple of other optimisations:
1. reusing allocations
2. using a prefix trie instead of an array of prefixes to get all the prefixes of a word
3. inserting directly into the database instead of putting the data in an intermediary grenad when possible. Also avoid checking for pre-existing values in the database when we know for certain that they do not exist.
## What bug was fixed?
When reindexing, the `new_prefix_fst_words` prefixes may look like:
```
["ant", "axo", "bor"]
```
which we group by first letter:
```
[["ant", "axo"], ["bor"]]
```
Later in the code, if we have the word2 "axolotl", we try to find which subarray of prefixes contains its prefixes. This check is done with `word2.starts_with(subarray_prefixes[0])`, but `"axolotl".starts_with("ant")` is false, and thus we wrongly think that there are no prefixes in `new_prefix_fst_words` that are prefixes of `axolotl`.
## StrStrU8Codec
I had to change the encoding of `StrStrU8Codec` to make the second string null-terminated as well. I don't think this should be a problem, but I may have missed some nuances about the impacts of this change.
## Requests when reviewing this PR
I have explained what the code does in the module documentation of `word_pair_proximity_prefix_docids`. It would be nice if someone could read it and give their opinion on whether it is a clear explanation or not.
I also have a couple questions regarding the code itself:
- Should we clean up and factor out the `PrefixTrieNode` code to try and make broader use of it outside this module? For now, the prefixes undergo a few transformations: from FST, to array, to prefix trie. It seems like it could be simplified.
- I wrote a function called `write_into_lmdb_database_without_merging`. (1) Are we okay with such a function existing? (2) Should it be in `grenad_helpers` instead?
## Benchmark Results
We reduce the time it takes to index about 8% in most cases, but it varies between -3% and -20%.

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": []
}
```

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.

467: optimize prefix database r=Kerollmops a=MarinPostma
This pr introduces two optimizations that greatly improve the speed of computing prefix databases.
- The time that it takes to create the prefix FST has been divided by 5 by inverting the way we iterated over the words FST.
- We unconditionally and needlessly checked for documents to remove in `word_prefix_pair`, which caused an iteration over the whole database.

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.
