* Add per-query IDF corpus for sparse vector search
Let the caller choose, per query, which population sparse IDF statistics
are computed over. `params.idf` is either `"global"` (default, unchanged
behavior) or `{"corpus": <filter>}`, where the corpus filter is
independent of - and usually broader than - the retrieval filter.
Decoupling the two keeps the score scale stable when the retrieval
filter tightens: term importance is measured against a population the
user names, not against whatever subset the filter happens to select.
Design decisions:
- Corpus grammar is restricted to a conjunction (`must`) of `match`
conditions on payload fields; loosening later is backward compatible.
- Strict mode validates the corpus filter like a read filter
(unindexed fields rejected).
- `idf` on a vector without the IDF modifier is a validation error,
never silently ignored.
- An empty corpus yields degenerate but corpus-scoped scores (smoothed
IDF over N=0), never a fallback to global statistics - in multi-tenant
collections a fallback would leak term statistics across tenants.
Implementation:
- QueryContext IDF stats are keyed by corpus, so one batch can mix
requests with different corpora.
- Statistics come from the sparse index: df(term) is counted over the
query terms' posting lists only, never by scanning stored vectors.
Small corpora (under ~1/32 of the segment, by cardinality estimate)
are kept as a sorted id list galloping through posting lists via
skip_to; large ones as a dense membership mask filled streaming from
the filtered-points iterator. A misestimated small corpus degrades
into the mask.
- Exposed uniformly: REST (`params.idf`), gRPC (`IdfParams` message),
edge python bindings; OpenAPI schema regenerated.

* Allow any filter as IDF corpus
Drop the must+match grammar restriction on the corpus filter. A
restriction enforced only as a validation step over the full Filter
type buys nothing; if a narrower corpus syntax is ever wanted, it
should be a dedicated API-level type instead.
