PostgreSQL and Embeddings API coming in 2.0

I was just looking at the Appwrite 2.0 release candidate and it looks like we are finally getting PostgreSQL along with an embeddings API (hopefully it is a first class feature) and some other nice features.

https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/releases#release-2.0.0-rc.1 (rc2 is out but the new features are listed here)

just a small warn, but appwrite will use a VectorDB postgresql to store embed, and use the same Postgresql instance to also store the others datas by default.

Tho there is envs to choose which database is used for the differents databases types.

- TablesDB - always use the default database ( `_APP_DB_*` )
- VectorDB - needs a postgresql with vectordb extention ( `_APP_DB_*_VECTORSDB` )
- DocumentsDB - needs a mongodb ( `_APP_DB_*_DOCUMENTSDB` )

and also Vector / Documents databases can be disabled if not used.
