Subject: [PATCH] Add SimilarArticleSerializer and enhance
 ArticleDetailSerializer with similar articles feature

- Introduced `SimilarArticleSerializer` to provide a structured representation of similar articles, including categories and thumbnail.
- Updated `ArticleDetailSerializer` to include a new `similar_articles` field, which fetches articles from the same categories, excluding the current article.
- Implemented a method to retrieve similar articles, improving the article detail view with relevant content suggestions.
