BREAKING CHANGE: For a field "vector", list of integers will now be
converted to binary (uint8) vectors instead of f32 vectors. Use float
values instead for f32 vectors.
* Adds proper support for inserting and upserting subsets of the full
schema. I thought I had previously implemented this in #1827, but it
turns out I had not tested carefully enough.
* Refactors `_santize_data` and other utility functions to be simpler
and not require `numpy` or `combine_chunks()`.
* Added a new suite of unit tests to validate sanitization utilities.
## Examples
```python
import pandas as pd
import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect("memory://demo")
intial_data = pd.DataFrame({
"a": [1, 2, 3],
"b": [4, 5, 6],
"c": [7, 8, 9]
})
table = db.create_table("demo", intial_data)
# Insert a subschema
new_data = pd.DataFrame({"a": [10, 11]})
table.add(new_data)
table.to_pandas()
```
```
a b c
0 1 4.0 7.0
1 2 5.0 8.0
2 3 6.0 9.0
3 10 NaN NaN
4 11 NaN NaN
```
```python
# Upsert a subschema
upsert_data = pd.DataFrame({
"a": [3, 10, 15],
"b": [6, 7, 8],
})
table.merge_insert(on="a").when_matched_update_all().when_not_matched_insert_all().execute(upsert_data)
table.to_pandas()
```
```
a b c
0 1 4.0 7.0
1 2 5.0 8.0
2 3 6.0 9.0
3 10 7.0 NaN
4 11 NaN NaN
5 15 8.0 NaN
```
it reports error `AttributeError: 'builtins.FTSQuery' object has no
attribute 'select_columns'`
because we missed `select_columns` method in rust

binary vectors and hamming distance can work on only IVF_FLAT, so
introduce them all in this PR.

Hi lancedb team,
This PR adds the `bypass_vector_index` logic to the sync API, as
described in [Issue
#535](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/535). (Closes#535).
Iv'e implemented it only for the regular vector search. If you think it
should also be supported for FTS, Hybrid, or Empty queries and for the
cloud solution, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to extend it.
Since there’s no `CONTRIBUTING.md` or contribution guidelines, I opted
for the simplest implementation to get this started.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Thanks!

* Add `See Also` section to `cleanup_old_files` and `compact_files` so
they know it's linked to `optimize`.
* Fixes link to `compact_files` arguments
* Improves formatting of note.
### Changes to sync API
* Updated `LanceTable` and `LanceDBConnection` reprs
* Add `storage_options`, `data_storage_version`, and
`enable_v2_manifest_paths` to sync create table API.
* Add `storage_options` to `open_table` in sync API.
* Add `list_indices()` and `index_stats()` to sync API
* `create_table()` will now create only 1 version when data is passed.
Previously it would always create two versions: 1 to create an empty
table and 1 to add data to it.
### Changes to async API
* Add `embedding_functions` to async `create_table()` API.
* Added `head()` to async API
### Refactors
* Refactor index parameters into dataclasses so they are easier to use
from Python
* Moved most tests to use an in-memory DB so we don't need to create so
many temp directories
Closes#1792Closes#1932
