feat: allow setting train=False and name on indices (#2586)

Enables two new parameters when building indices:

* `name`: Allows explicitly setting a name on the index. Default is
`{col_name}_idx`.
* `train` (default `True`): When set to `False`, an empty index will be
immediately created.

The upgrade of Lance means there are also additional behaviors from
cd76a993b8:

* When a scalar index is created on a Table, it will be kept around even
if all rows are deleted or updated.
* Scalar indices can be created on empty tables. They will default to
`train=False` if the table is empty.
