Vector indexes in ClickHouse are experimental at the moment and can
sometimes break/change behaviour. So this PR makes it possible to say
that you don't want to specify an index type.
Any queries against the embedding column will be brute force/linear
scan, but that gives reasonable performance for small-medium dataset
sizes.

## Description & Issue
While following the official doc to use clickhouse as a vectorstore, I
found only the default `annoy` index is properly supported. But I want
to try another engine `usearch` for `annoy` is not properly supported on
ARM platforms.
Here is the settings I prefer:
``` python
settings = ClickhouseSettings(
table="wiki_Ethereum",
index_type="usearch", # annoy by default
index_param=[],
)
```
The above settings do not work for the command `set
allow_experimental_annoy_index=1` is hard-coded.
This PR will make sure the experimental feature follow the `index_type`
which is also consistent with Clickhouse's naming conventions.
