Description

We must create at least one integration test that pulls the last version of Meilisearch (based on the version in the TOML), indexes a set of documents, changes some settings, and, if possible, keeps some enqueued tasks. Once the database state is set, we must be able to read this database with the --experimental-dumpless-upgrade flag.
