Brendan Clement 027597d36d docs: declare where indexing and maintenance apply
Indexes are built in the embedded library and on a deployment, which
builds them in the background, keeps most of them current, and builds
only IVF_FLAT, IVF_PQ, IVF_RQ and IVF_HNSW_SQ vector indexes. Compaction
runs on both, by optimize() locally and in the background on a
deployment; cleanup on a deployment runs only where its configuration
enables it, so it varies; background jobs exist only on a deployment.

Sections that described one offering as if it were both now name it:
optimize() is embedded only, the brute-force limit and automatic IVF_PQ
are deployment settings, FM indexes get no background updates, a
remainder below the deployment's threshold can keep wait_for_index from
finishing, GPU builds on a deployment are IVF_PQ with a configured GPU
count, list_indices on a deployment omits num_unindexed_rows, and the
background jobs page no longer says every other job is one you start.
