fix(python): use namespace-backed rust connection for namespace tables (#3286)

So far, I have been using a hacky approach that creates and opens
namespace-backed table, by getting its location and use a temporary
lancedb connection to create or open it. This was working for features
like credentials vending but is no longer fully working for the managed
versioning feature, recently geneva tests have been failing here and
there and various patches are not addressing the root cause. This PR
fully fixes this and implements proper rust binding for it.
Specifically:

- build a real Rust namespace-backed connection from the Python
namespace client
- route namespace table create/open through that connection instead of
resolved-location temp connections
- keep namespace client naming consistent in the Rust bridge and
preserve federated namespace + DuckDB behavior
