Sets things up for this -> https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/579
- Just separates out the registry/ingestion code from the function
implementation code
- adds a `get_registry` util
- package name "open-clip" -> "open-clip-torch"
Add `to_list` to return query results as list of python dict (so we're
not too pandas-centric). Closes#555
Add `to_pandas` API and add deprecation warning on `to_df`. Closes#545

We have experimental support for prefiltering (without ANN) in pylance.
This means that we can now apply a filter BEFORE vector search is
performed. This can be done via the `.where(filter_string,
prefilter=True)` kwargs of the query.
Limitations:
- When connecting to LanceDB cloud, `prefilter=True` will raise
NotImplemented
- When an ANN index is present, `prefilter=True` will raise
NotImplemented
- This option is not available for full text search query
- This option is not available for empty search query (just
filter/project)
Additional changes in this PR:
- Bump pylance version to v0.8.0 which supports the experimental
prefiltering.

The `attr` project is unrelated to `attrs` that also provides the `attr`
namespace (see also <https://hynek.me/articles/import-attrs/>).
It used to _usually_ work, because attrs is a dependency of aiohttp and
somehow took precedence over `attr`'s `attr`.
Yes, sorry, it's a mess.
1. Support persistent embedding function so users can just search using
query string
2. Add fixed size list conversion for multiple vector columns
3. Add support for empty query (just apply select/where/limit).
4. Refactor and simplify some of the data prep code

BREAKING CHANGE: The `score` column has been renamed to `_distance` to
more accurately describe the semantics (smaller means closer / better).
