Include the new fields in MultiSearchFederation.toString().

toString() documents a JSON representation but serializes only limit and offset, so it drops distinct and showPerformanceDetails. The Client.multiSearch request path uses JsonHandler, not toString(), so request serialization is not affected. Add a toString() regression test if this representation is supported.

In `@src/main/java/com/meilisearch/sdk/MultiSearchFederation.java` around lines 14
- 15, Update MultiSearchFederation.toString() to include the distinct and
showPerformanceDetails fields in its JSON representation alongside limit and
offset, preserving the existing serialization format; add a regression test for
the complete representation if toString() is covered by tests.
