Allow each language to go into its own index

[davidwebster48]

My content is available in many languages, using Strapi's i18n plugin.

According to the Meilisearch docs, it is advised to "split your dataset—one language per index".

However, I don't think this is possible using the Meilisearch Strapi plugin. According to this comment it wasn't possible last year, and I can't see anything in the docs about how to do this.

Here is my suggestion for how this could be configured...

// config/plugins.js

module.exports = () => ({
  //...
  meilisearch: {
    config: {
      restaurant: {
        indexName: "my_restaurants",
        oneIndexPerLocale: true,
      }
    }
  }
})

This would automatically create one index per locale, and append the locale code to the index name, so you'd get indexes like my_restaurants-en, my_restaurants-es, my_restaurants-pl, etc.
