refactor!: drop unused loss field from IndexStatistics (#3496)

BREAKING CHANGE: direct Rust users lose the `IndexStatistics::loss`
field. Python and Node.js consumers are unaffected in practice for
remote tables (the value was always `None`/absent), but the attribute is
gone for local tables too.

`IndexStatistics::loss` was local-only — LanceDB Cloud never returned
it, so
`RemoteTable::index_stats` always set `loss: None`. It's vestigial; this
removes it.

- Remove `loss` from `IndexStatistics` and the internal `IndexMetadata`
in `rust/lancedb/src/index.rs`, plus the summing logic in
`NativeTable::index_stats`.
- Drop `loss` from the Python and Node.js bindings (and their
tests/docs).

Fixes #3493
