Added the ability to specify tokenizer_name, when creating a full text
search index using tantivy. This enables the use of language specific
stemming.
Also updated the [guide on full text
search](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/fts/) with a short section on
choosing tokenizer.
Fixes#1315
This PR adds support for passing through a set of ordering fields at
index time (unsigned ints that tantivity can use as fast_fields) that at
query time you can sort your results on. This is useful for cases where
you want to get related hits, i.e by keyword, but order those hits by
some other score, such as popularity.
I.e search for songs descriptions that match on "sad AND jazz AND 1920"
and then order those by number of times played. Example usage can be
seen in the fts tests.

1. filtering with fts mutated the schema, which caused schema mistmatch
problems with hybrid search as it combines fts and vector search tables.
2. fts with filter failed with `with_row_id`. This was because row_id
was calculated before filtering which caused size mismatch on attaching
it after.
3. The fix for 1 meant that now row_id is attached before filtering but
passing a filter to `to_lance` on a dataset that already contains
`_rowid` raises a panic from lance. So temporarily, in case where fts is
used with a filter AND `with_row_id`, we just force user to using the
duckdb pathway.

This changes `lancedb` from a "pure python" setuptools project to a
maturin project and adds a rust lancedb dependency.
The async python client is extremely minimal (only `connect` and
`Connection.table_names` are supported). The purpose of this PR is to
get the infrastructure in place for building out the rest of the async
client.
Although this is not technically a breaking change (no APIs are
changing) it is still a considerable change in the way the wheels are
built because they now include the native shared library.
