chore(deps): upgrade Lance to v15.0.0-beta.17 (#4943)

Update the Rust workspace, Java dependency, and Python test dependency
to [Lance
v15.0.0-beta.17](https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v15.0.0-beta.17).
This includes the FRI cache and vector-index changes required by current
Sophon and retains the RaBitQ prewarm fixes. Lockfiles use the published
source and test wheels without unrelated registry version bumps.

The dependency dry run also exposed CI resource limits. Use the existing
larger x64 runner for GNU Node and compatibility-wheel builds; allow 60
minutes for Mac Python tests, 120 minutes for the compatibility wheel,
and 150 minutes for the Mac release wheel. Disable the CLI toolchain
action's automatic target cache so only the subsequent downloads-only
cache runs. Release optimization, the compatibility wheel's manylinux
container and x86-64-v2 baseline, and test coverage stay unchanged.

Validation:

- Three native SDK regressions pass: refined RQ queries after deferred
compaction, deferred index remapping, and ANN approximation planning.
- Pinned Rust 1.97.0: `cargo clippy --quiet --locked --features remote
--tests --examples -- -D warnings` passes.
- Locked offline Rust metadata, Python lock validation, Ruff
lint/format, and diff checks pass. The Python lock contains six
published beta.17 wheels.
- Repository YAML, whitespace and typo checks pass for the workflow
changes. Product-source checks are reused for the subsequent CI-only
commits.
- At head `07033dc6`, all 65 applicable pre-review CI checks pass,
including the compatibility wheel, Mac CLI, GNU Node, Mac Python tests,
release wheels, and Java checks. Six checks are skipped by tag/main-only
conditions or draft-only app behavior; the automated review and security
checks run after the Ready transition.

The upstream Java publisher succeeded and its beta.17 Maven artifact is
available. Six upstream Python wheel builds/uploads succeeded; its
Windows ARM job was cancelled. These checks do not establish Sophon
performance or aggregate-memory acceptance.
