This PR:
- restructures the data folder, flattening the hierarchy
- it adds overloads to the Get, Upsert, Delete methods, to allow batch
as well, marks the batch versions as deprecated, closes #11301
- restructured the inheritance of VectorStoreRecordCollection, which now
has a base that does record handling, which is shared with the
VectorSearchBase for the serialization, and the search method mixins now
subclass the VectorSearchBase so that there is one less parent direct
parent, a full Collection will now inherit from
VectorStoreRecordCollection and zero or more VectorSearch mixins, this
is done to clean things up and in preparation of adding HybridSearch.
- Also adds a convenience method to each search mixin to create a
VectorStoreTextSearch directly, allowing folks to import one less
concept, closes #11111

### Description

<!-- Describe your changes, the overall approach, the underlying design.
These notes will help understanding how your code works. Thanks! -->
Most of the code has been moved out of many files and folders, into a
few files which make purpose and collaboration between the classes
easier to understand.

This is a breaking change:
If you have implemented your own VectorStoreRecordCollection, make sure
to:

- Add `VectorStoreRecordCollection[TKey, TModel]` as superclass to the
implementation
- Remove `VectorSearchBase` as superclass from implementation
- Set the SearchMixins to `[TKey, TModel]` instead of just `[TModel]`
