Subject: [PATCH] Fix immich-pg: use VectorChord with correct config

- Use cloudnative-vectorchord:17.7-1.0.0 image (not pgvecto.rs)
- Add shared_preload_libraries at postgresql level (not parameters)
- Create vector, vchord, cube, earthdistance extensions

Immich v1.133.0+ uses VectorChord as successor to pgvecto.rs.
