This PR ports over advanced client configuration present in the Python
`RestfulLanceDBClient` to the Rust one. The goal is to have feature
parity so we can replace the implementation.
* [x] Request timeout
* [x] Retries with backoff
* [x] Request id generation
* [x] User agent (with default tied to library version ✨ )
* [x] Table existence cache
* [ ] Deferred: ~Request id customization (should this just pick up OTEL
trace ids?)~
Fixes#1684
The new V2 manifest path scheme makes discovering the latest version of
a table constant time on object stores, regardless of the number of
versions in the table. See benchmarks in the PR here:

Exposes `storage_options` in LanceDB. This is provided for Python async,
Node `lancedb`, and Node `vectordb` (and Rust of course). Python
synchronous is omitted because it's not compatible with the PyArrow
filesystems we use there currently. In the future, we will move the sync
API to wrap the async one, and then it will get support for
`storage_options`.

10. Deprecating `awsCredentials` and `awsRegion`. Users are encouraged
to use `storageOptions` instead.
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.
This also renames the new experimental node package to lancedb. The
classic node package remains named vectordb.
The goal here is to avoid introducing piecemeal breaking changes to the
vectordb crate. Instead, once the new API is stabilized, we will
officially release the lancedb crate and deprecate the vectordb crate.
The same pattern will eventually happen with the npm package vectordb.
