fix: gate experimental local functions behind an opt-in feature (#4688)

Browse Source 
Published SDK builds currently expose local SQL computed columns and
materialized-view execution that are not ready for release. Add the
opt-in `experimental-functions` Cargo feature to the Rust core and
forward it through the Python and Node bindings; published packages
leave it disabled.

Local declarations and refreshes now return `NotSupported` before
mutating tables or spawning jobs, including prepared materialized-view
creation. Remote Cloud/Enterprise client operations, Python UDF
packaging, ordinary eager `add_columns`, and access to existing data
remain available. Stored metadata and write protections stay active, and
shared server commit helpers remain usable.

CI covers both feature configurations. Existing local execution tests
run with the feature enabled; default-build regressions cover early
rejection, unchanged table versions, existing metadata protections, and
normal eager transforms. API and source-build documentation explain the
opt-in.

Validation: Rust library tests pass with the feature disabled (1,869
tests) and enabled (1,947 tests), plus three default-build integration
regressions. Python and TypeScript bindings were rebuilt and tested in
both configurations, including mocked remote requests; Rust formatting,
Python package lint, TypeScript lint/build, and generated docs were
checked. Repository-wide Ruff still reports 48 pre-existing errors in
unchanged `docs/web-tests` files.

Both offerings support column refresh. The embedded library runs it in your process; Enterprise runs it as a server job that must be enabled for your Enterprise cluster.
Local column refresh requires a source build with the experimental-functions Cargo feature. Enterprise runs it as a server job that must be enabled for your Enterprise cluster.

Refresh a [computed column](/feature-engineering/add-computed-column) to fill
new rows and recompute values whose inputs changed. The example below continues
with the `doubled` column from the computed-column guide.
<Note>
In the 0.41 SDK release, local declaration and refresh require a source build
with the `experimental-functions` Cargo feature. Published Python and TypeScript
packages leave it disabled. Remote Cloud and Enterprise operations do not require
this feature; existing computed-column data remains readable in default builds.
