Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Vamana build currently selects a medoid randomly, which is suboptimal and may slightly reduce recall.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to implement a sampled medoid selection routine in vamana build that selects it more intelligently.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current implementation functions correctly and does not cause any major issues, but recall may be slightly improved with a better medoid selection.
