wip: make the python API reference a bit nicer (#162)

Adds:

* Make `mkdocstrings` aware we are using numpy-style docstrings
* Fixes broken link on `index.md` to Python API docs (and added link to
node ones)
* Added examples to various classes.
* Added doctest to verify examples work.

def contextualize(raw_df: pd.DataFrame) -> Contextualizer:
"""Create a Contextualizer object for the given DataFrame.
Used to create context windows.
Used to create context windows. Context windows are rolling subsets of text
data.
The input text column should already be separated into rows that will be the
unit of the window. So to create a context window over tokens, start with
a DataFrame with one token per row. To create a context window over sentences,
start with a DataFrame with one sentence per row.
Examples
--------
>>> from lancedb.context import contextualize
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> data = pd.DataFrame({
... 'token': ['The', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumped', 'over',
... 'the', 'lazy', 'dog', 'I', 'love', 'sandwiches'],
... 'document_id': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]
... })
``window`` determines how many rows to include in each window. In our case
this how many tokens, but depending on the input data, it could be sentences,
paragraphs, messages, etc.
>>> contextualize(data).window(3).stride(1).text_col('token').to_df()
token document_id
0 The quick brown 1
1 quick brown fox 1
2 brown fox jumped 1
3 fox jumped over 1
4 jumped over the 1
5 over the lazy 1
6 the lazy dog 1
7 lazy dog I 1
8 dog I love 1
>>> contextualize(data).window(7).stride(1).text_col('token').to_df()
token document_id
0 The quick brown fox jumped over the 1
1 quick brown fox jumped over the lazy 1
2 brown fox jumped over the lazy dog 1
3 fox jumped over the lazy dog I 1
4 jumped over the lazy dog I love 1
``stride`` determines how many rows to skip between each window start. This can
be used to reduce the total number of windows generated.
>>> contextualize(data).window(4).stride(2).text_col('token').to_df()
token document_id
0 The quick brown fox 1
2 brown fox jumped over 1
4 jumped over the lazy 1
6 the lazy dog I 1
``groupby`` determines how to group the rows. For example, we would like to have
context windows that don't cross document boundaries. In this case, we can
pass ``document_id`` as the group by.
>>> contextualize(data).window(4).stride(2).text_col('token').groupby('document_id').to_df()
token document_id
0 The quick brown fox 1
2 brown fox jumped over 1
4 jumped over the lazy 1
