fix: add to_lance() and to_polars() stub methods for type-checkers (#2876)

Adds `Table.to_lance()` and `Table.to_polars()` methods (non-abstract
methods, defaulting to `NotImplementedError`) so type checkers like
mypy, pyright and ty don’t flag them as unknown attributes on `Table`.
Not making these abstract methods should keep existing remote/other
`Table` implementations instantiable.

This is non-breaking change to existing functionality and is purely for
the purpose of pleasing static type-checkers like mypy, ty and pyright.
