This was already configurable in the rust API but it wasn't actually
being passed down to the underlying dataset. I added this option to both
the async python API and the new nodejs API.
I also added this option to the synchronous python API.
I did not add the option to vectordb.
Fixes issue where we would throw `Either data or schema needs to
defined` when passing `data` to `createTable` as a property of the first
argument (an object).
```ts
await db.createTable({
name: 'table1',
data,
schema
})
```
The rust implementation of the remote client is not yet ready. This is
understandably confusing for users since it is enabled by default. This
PR disables it by default. We can re-enable it when we are ready (even
then it is not clear this is something that should be a default
feature).

1. added rename_table fn to enable dashboard to rename a table
2. added index_type and distance_type (for vector index) to index_stats
so that more detailed data can be shown on the table page.

@wjones127 : `if query_type != "fts":` is needed because both fts and
vector search create `LanceQueryBuilder` which has `vector_column_name`
as a required attribute.
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`.
1. Fixes#1168
2. Closes#1165
3. Closes#1082
4. Closes#439
5. Closes#897
6. Closes#642

10. Deprecating `awsCredentials` and `awsRegion`. Users are encouraged
to use `storageOptions` instead.
- make open table behaviour consistent:
- remote tables will check if the table exists by calling /describe and
throwing an error if the call doesn't succeed
- this is similar to the behaviour for local tables where we will raise
an exception when opening the table if the local dataset doesn't exist
- The table names are cached in the client with a TTL
- Also fixes a small bug where if the remote error response was
deserialized from JSON as an object, we'd print it resulting in the
unhelpful error message: `Error: Server Error, status: 404, message: Not
Found: [object Object]`
This prevents an issue where users can do something like:
```js
db.createTable('my-table#123123')
```
The server has logic to determine that '#' character is not allowed in
the table name, but currently this is being returned as 404 error
because it routes to `/v1/my-table#123123/create` and `#123123/create`
will not be parsed as part of path
