The synchronous table_names function in python lancedb relies on arrow's filesystem which behaves slightly differently than object_store. As a result, the function would not work properly in GCS. However, the async table_names function uses object_store directly and thus is accurate. In most cases we can fallback to using the async table_names function and so this PR does so. The one case we cannot is if the user is already in an async context (we can't start a new async event loop). Soon, we can just redirect those users to use the async API instead of the sync API and so that case will eventually go away. For now, we fallback to the old behavior.
