feat: impl StructArray -- support create index for vector array (embedding list) and search on it (#43726)
Ref https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/issues/42148

This PR supports create index for vector array (now, only for
`DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR`) and search on it.
The index type supported in this PR is `EMB_LIST_HNSW` and the metric
type is `MAX_SIM` only.

The way to use it:
```python
milvus_client = MilvusClient("xxx:19530")
schema = milvus_client.create_schema(enable_dynamic_field=True, auto_id=True)
...
struct_schema = milvus_client.create_struct_array_field_schema("struct_array_field")
...
struct_schema.add_field("struct_float_vec", DataType.ARRAY_OF_VECTOR, element_type=DataType.FLOAT_VECTOR, dim=128, max_capacity=1000)
...
schema.add_struct_array_field(struct_schema)
index_params = milvus_client.prepare_index_params()
index_params.add_index(field_name="struct_float_vec", index_type="EMB_LIST_HNSW", metric_type="MAX_SIM", index_params={"nlist": 128})
...
milvus_client.create_index(COLLECTION_NAME, schema=schema, index_params=index_params)
```

Note: This PR uses `Lims` to convey offsets of the vector array to
knowhere where vectors of multiple vector arrays are concatenated and we
need offsets to specify which vectors belong to which vector array.
