feat: add vector quantization and HNSW index configuration

- Add VectorConfig struct with quantization (SQ, PQ) and HNSW parameters
- Update Database interface to accept VectorConfig in AddCollection
- Implement quantization support for Milvus (PQ via HNSW index)
- Implement quantization support for Qdrant (SQ with int8, PQ)
- Implement PQ quantization support for Weaviate
- SQLite does not support quantization (returns error)
- Proxy uses DefaultVectorConfig (protobuf VectorConfig pending regeneration)

Quantization types:
- none: float32 vectors (default)
- sq: scalar quantization (int8, 75% memory saving) - Qdrant only
- pq: product quantization (~90% memory saving)

Note: Full protobuf support for VectorConfig requires regenerating
vector_store.pb.go and vector_store_grpc.pb.go locally with protoc.
