feat(nodejs): add namespace management methods on Connection (#3371)

### Summary

Closes #3363 

Adds the four namespace management methods to the NodeJS `Connection`,
bringing parity with the Rust core and Python bindings:

- `listNamespaces(parent?, options?)`
- `createNamespace(namespacePath, options?)`
- `dropNamespace(namespacePath, options?)`
- `describeNamespace(namespacePath)`

### Test plan
- npm test
- Ran a smoke test script

```typescript
import { connect } from '<lancePath>'
import { tmpdir } from "os";
import { mkdtempSync } from "fs";
import { join } from "path";

const dir = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "lancedb-smoke-"));
console.log(`Using temp dir: ${dir}\n`);

const db = await connect(dir, {
  namespaceClientProperties: { manifest_enabled: "true" },
});

console.log("Creating namespaces...");
await db.createNamespace(["analytics"]);
await db.createNamespace(["analytics", "sales"], {
  properties: { owner: "brendan", purpose: "smoke-test" },
});
await db.createNamespace(["marketing"]);

const root = await db.listNamespaces();
console.log("Root namespaces:", root.namespaces);

const children = await db.listNamespaces(["analytics"]);
console.log("Children of 'analytics':", children.namespaces);

const descWithProps = await db.describeNamespace(["analytics", "sales"]);
console.log("Describe analytics/sales (with properties):", descWithProps);

const descNoProps = await db.describeNamespace(["analytics"]);
console.log("Describe analytics (no properties):", descNoProps);

console.log("Describing a non-existent namespace (expect error)...");
try {
  await db.describeNamespace(["does-not-exist"]);
  console.error("  UNEXPECTED: describe succeeded for non-existent namespace");
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`  ✓ Got expected error: ${err.message.split("\n")[0]}`);
}

await db.dropNamespace(["marketing"]);
const afterDrop = await db.listNamespaces();
console.log("Root after dropping marketing:", afterDrop.namespaces);

await db.close();
console.log("\nAll operations completed successfully.");
```

```
