Setting to change the proximity ranking rule behavior

Related product team resources: PRD (internal only)
Related Spec: meilisearch/specifications#261
Motivation
Proximity is one of the ranking rules of Meilisearch and makes Meilisearch return results that are sorted by increasing the distance between matched query terms.
To provide this kind of relevancy, Meilisearch needs to make a lot of computations and create many internal databases. This takes space on the user (or Cloud) disk, and also time when indexing.
Indexing time is a real problem and pain point for the users.
The point is to provide a setting to make the user lose a part of relevancy that probably do not fit their use case by drastically reducing their indexing speed.
