Bump version: 0.30.2 → 0.31.0-beta.0

## Summary
- Update Rust Lance workspace dependencies to `v5.0.0-beta.4` using
`ci/set_lance_version.py` (including lockfile refresh).
- Update Java `lance-core` dependency property to `5.0.0-beta.4` in
`java/pom.xml`.

## Verification
- `cargo clippy --workspace --tests --all-features -- -D warnings`
- `cargo fmt --all`

## Triggering tag
- https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v5.0.0-beta.4
