feat: view similar photos (#21108)

* Enable filteing by example

* Drop `@GenerateSql` for `getEmbedding`?

* Improve error message

* PR Feedback

* Sort en.json

* Add SQL

* Fix lint

* Drop test that is no longer valid

* Fix i18n file sorting

* Fix TS error

* Add a `requireAccess` before pulling the embedding

* Fix decorators

* Run `make open-api`
