Nit: Use Vector Search instead?

Is that what we use for semantic_text? if so, I can change it :)

In general, the Relevance area is so broad that I barely use it. Most semantic text/search changes use Vector Search, and given that this is directly related to vector formats, it seems like the best fit.

This pipes the extra vector format provider to semantic_text fields. This unlocks using the new experimental GPU indexing for semantic text fields.
Generally, this is also required for future work utilizing these extension format providers.
