This PR adds a new
calcDistanceForQueryAPI inIndexCalculatorInterfacethat lets us separate distance calculation of a query and a candidate from distance calculation of two candidates.It enables distance compute of asymmetric distances (FP32/FP16 query vs. SQ8 candidate) alongside symmetric distances(SQ8 candidate vs. SQ8 candidate).
