fix(types): allow interface{} for FacetSearchRequest Filter (fixes #752)

[kyyril]

Summary

This PR fixes #752.

Problem: FacetSearchRequest.Filter was defined as string, preventing users from directly passing array/slice filters (e.g. []string{"cat", "dog"}), which are supported by Meilisearch API for AND/OR logic.

Solution: Changed FacetSearchRequest.Filter type to interface{} to match SearchRequest.Filter, allowing both string and slice inputs.

Out of Scope Changes check	⚠️ Warning	Changes to SearchRequest and SimilarDocumentQuery with ShowPerformanceDetails appear to be out of scope relative to the stated objective of fixing FacetSearchRequest.Filter type.	Remove the ShowPerformanceDetails additions to SearchRequest, SearchResponse, and SimilarDocumentQuery, as these are not mentioned in issue #752 and constitute unrelated enhancements.
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
