ActiveContext indexer improvements

Madelein van Niekerkrequested to merge
active-context/small-updates into master

What does this MR do and why?

Adds a couple of improvements to the ActiveContext indexing process and updates the docs with the up-to-date state for indexing and searching.

  1. Adds an activate! method to the connection model to easily switch connections
  2. Adds a partition for references, and uses that for indexing. It is the actual partition name + number a ref will go to
  3. Adds a execute_all_queues! method to execute refs from all queues sync as a helper if you don't want to wait for the cron workers
  4. Updates the way we initialize refs to take named arguments instead of positional arguments
  5. Updates the docs
