Vector indexes have the type (algorithm) SE_SPECIFIC, and we add a column option in the data dictionary saying `vector_index=1;` which gets picked up by dedicated code in the data dictionary and the handler part of InnoDB. In the SQL layer, the vector index is very much a thing; there is an `HA_KEY_ALG_VECTOR`, an `HA_VECTOR` and a `KEYTYPE_VECTOR`. Extra SQL is added to display the type of a vector index as VECTOR rather than SE_SPECIFIC.

Adding the syntax `TYPE <ident> WITH ( <ident> = <ident>...) ` to index creation syntax. E.g.: `CREATE VECTOR INDEX <name> ( <table> ) TYPE hnsw WITH ( M = 6 )` The syntax in the `WITH` list, christened Index Construction Parameters in this commit, must be verified by the storage engine. There were no hooks for this in InnoDB so one has been added in check_engine(). We have to do it fairly early so that we can prevent table creation in the DD in case of errors. Hence, the index type and parameter list are validated inside the storage engine using a new interface validate_engine_attributes(). In order to leave the DD table definitions unchanged, we employ a couple of hacks: The index construction parameters are stored as key-value pairs inside the index's `option` field. The are unpacked from there for `SHOW CREATE TABLE`. To do: We will probably still need a hook to handle the case of an already-existing table with invalid attributes; there are no hooks for this.
