refactor: rename the rust crate from vectordb to lancedb (#1012)

This also renames the new experimental node package to lancedb. The
classic node package remains named vectordb.

The goal here is to avoid introducing piecemeal breaking changes to the
vectordb crate. Instead, once the new API is stabilized, we will
officially release the lancedb crate and deprecate the vectordb crate.
The same pattern will eventually happen with the npm package vectordb.
