[fti] add cw_fti_index_rql_limit method Improves on and deprecate cw_fti_index_rql_queries: execute the rql directly, so that we don't need to compute the set of eids up-front, but can just keep track of the last seen entity. Use the new method in reindex_entities. Keep calling cw_fti_index_rql_queries if it has been redefined (e.g in cubes). Related to #3621392.

The facets system
-----------------

Facets allow to restrict searches according to some user friendly criterias.
CubicWeb has a builtin `facet`_ system to define restrictions `filters`_ really
as easily as possible.

Here is an exemple of the facets rendering picked from our
http://www.cubicweb.org web site:

Facets will appear on each page presenting more than one entity that may be
filtered according to some known criteria.
