Improves performance of deserialization of vector data for calculating similarity functions.
Instead of deserializing vector data into a std::vector<data_value>, we deserialize directly into a std::vector<float>
and then pass it to similarity functions as a std::span<const float>.
This avoids overhead of data_value allocations and conversions.
Example QPS of `SELECT id, similarity_cosine({vector<float, 1536>}, {vector<float, 1536>}) ...`:
client concurrency 1: before: ~135 QPS, after: ~1005 QPS
client concurrency 20: before: ~280 QPS, after: ~2097 QPS

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
