Make int8_hnsw our default index for new dense-vector fields (#106836)
For float32, there is no compelling reason to use all the memory
required by default for HNSW. Using `int8_hnsw` provides a much saner
default when it comes to cost vs relevancy. 

So, on all new indices that use `dense_vector` and want to index them
for fast search, we will default to `int8_hnsw`. 

Users can still customize their parameters, or prefer `hnsw` over
float32 if they so desire.
