Inspired by the filtering capability available in ChromaDB, added the
same functionality to the FAISS vectorestore as well. Since FAISS does
not have an inbuilt method of filtering used the approach suggested in
this [thread](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/issues/1079)
Langchain Issue inspiration:
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/4572
- [x] Added filtering capability to semantic similarly and MMR
- [x] Added test cases for filtering in
`tests/integration_tests/vectorstores/test_faiss.py`
#### Who can review?

"FAISS vectorstore can also support filtering, since the FAISS does not natively support filtering we have to do it manually. This is done by first fetching more results than `k` and then filtering them. You can filter the documents based on metadata. You can also set the `fetch_k` parameter when calling any search method to set how many documents you want to fetch before filtering. Here is a small example:"
"Here is an example of how to set `fetch_k` parameter when calling `similarity_search`. Usually you would want the `fetch_k` parameter >> `k` parameter. This is because the `fetch_k` parameter is the number of documents that will be fetched before filtering. If you set `fetch_k` to a low number, you might not get enough documents to filter from."
