feat: add jina-mlx reranker provider for Apple Silicon (#542)
* feat: add JinaMLXCrossEncoder for native Apple Silicon reranking

Adds a new `jina-mlx` reranker provider backed by jinaai/jina-reranker-v3-mlx,
a 0.6B multilingual listwise reranker running via the MLX framework on Apple Silicon.
The model is downloaded automatically from HuggingFace Hub on first use.

Benchmarked latencies (Apple Silicon): 1 doc→32ms, 5→45ms, 10→60ms, 20→94ms.
Sub-linear scaling because all docs are ranked in a single forward pass.

- Embeds the MLX reranker implementation (_MLXReranker / _MLPProjector) directly
  in cross_encoder.py with no transformers/PyTorch dependency
- Adds `mlx`, `mlx-lm`, `safetensors` to pyproject.toml optional deps (uv add)
- Updates configuration.md with provider docs and benchmark table

* refactor: import MLXReranker from repo rerank.py instead of duplicating code

Use importlib to load MLXReranker directly from the model repo's own rerank.py
(downloaded via snapshot_download). Also pin exact minimum versions for
mlx>=0.31.0, mlx-lm>=0.31.1, safetensors>=0.6.2 (verified against installed versions).

* refactor: move MLX reranker impl to dedicated jina_mlx_reranker.py

Replaces the importlib hack with a proper module. jina_mlx_reranker.py is
adapted from jinaai/jina-reranker-v3-mlx/rerank.py (CC BY-NC 4.0) with the
source clearly documented at the top of the file.

* docs: simplify jina-mlx reranker docs

* fix: disable GIN fastupdate on source_memory_ids index to prevent deadlocks

GIN fastupdate buffers inserts in a pending list and flushes it with
AccessExclusiveLock when full. Under concurrent test load (8 xdist workers
all running retain_async), two workers can trigger a flush simultaneously
and deadlock. Recreating the index with fastupdate=off eliminates the
flush/lock cycle at the cost of slightly slower individual inserts.

* fix: drop per-bank HNSW indexes after transaction to avoid AccessExclusiveLock deadlock

When deleting a bank, the previous code dropped HNSW indexes inside the
same transaction as the DELETE FROM memory_units. Since DROP INDEX needs
AccessExclusiveLock on the parent table and DELETE holds RowExclusiveLock,
two concurrent bank deletions deadlocked on the same table lock.

Fix: capture internal_id inside the transaction, commit, then drop the
indexes outside the transaction so no row-level locks are held.
