Some issues:
- file_size_bytes is optional in the manifest, so if it's not there (old
writer I guess) it'll under-report the table size.
- it changes results a little bit from the old way by including per-file
footers and metadata (probably not a big difference at real scale)

* Add a new "table stats" API to expose basic table and fragment
statistics with local and remote table implementations
### Questions
* This is using `calculate_data_stats` to determine total bytes in the
table. This seems like a potentially expensive operation - are there any
concerns about performance for large datasets?
### Notes
* bytes_on_disk seems to be stored at the column level but there does
not seem to be a way to easily calculate total bytes per fragment. This
may need to be added in lance before we can support fragment size
(bytes) statistics.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- Added a method to retrieve comprehensive table statistics, including
total rows, index counts, storage size, and detailed fragment size
metrics such as minimum, maximum, mean, and percentiles.
- Enabled fetching of table statistics from remote sources through
asynchronous requests.
- Extended table interfaces across Python, Rust, and Node.js to support
synchronous and asynchronous retrieval of table statistics.
- **Tests**
- Introduced tests to verify the accuracy of the new table statistics
feature for both populated and empty tables.
