Add vector compression and SVS-VAMANA tuning guide to docs #500

Description

@tylerhutcherson

Summary

Create a focused documentation guide for vector compression and SVS-VAMANA tuning in RedisVL.

Level: Intermediate

Current State

  • Compression concepts are present but spread across notebooks and API docs.
  • There is no single practical guide for when/how to use compression options and how to evaluate tradeoffs.

Proposed Change

  • Add a docs guide (for example docs/user_guide/how_to_guides/vector_compression_tuning.md) that covers:
    • when compression is appropriate
    • choosing algorithm and key params
    • expected memory/latency/recall tradeoffs
    • safe rollout/testing checklist
    • links to relevant API docs and notebooks
  • Include a minimal reproducible benchmark workflow users can run locally.

Definition of Done

  • New guide is linked from docs navigation and related pages.
  • Includes actionable tuning recommendations and validation checklist.
  • make docs-build passes.

Out of Scope

  • Changing compression implementation behavior in code.
