Update styling and aesthetics of banner and links

fix: add to_lance() and to_polars() stub methods for type-checkers (#2876 )
Adds `Table.to_lance()` and `Table.to_polars()` methods (non-abstract methods, defaulting to `NotImplementedError`) so type checkers like mypy, pyright and ty don’t flag them as unknown attributes on `Table`. Not making these abstract methods should keep existing remote/other `Table` implementations instantiable. This is non-breaking change to existing functionality and is purely for the purpose of pleasing static type-checkers like mypy, ty and pyright. <img width="626" height="134" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f4619bca-a882-432b-bd23-ae8f189ff9e3" />
