Move knowhere out of Milvus as a independent oss project

Performance Boosting:. Goal → 10ms e2e latency under small data size(Minimize the overhead), 10000 + QPS for 100m 768 dim vectors(Maximize Throughput)

Full Performance benchmark

Performance bottle neck removal

In Memory RPC under standalone mode

change grpc into a new implementation

Request combination

Merge multiple small nq request into a large nq request to improve throughput

Ease of use:

Support Milvus Standalone as a single process

Support Milvus as a python embedded library.

Dev && run milvus on Mac and Arm server
