Brendan Clement e20664740f docs: publish the Function pages only once Functions launch
The two Function pages declare `launch: functions`, and every other page
marks what it says about Functions, so the assembled site leaves them out
until the launch. Before it, the pages that offered Functions for Python
work point Enterprise readers at Geneva instead.

The SQL Function example now uses Arrow type names, which the server
requires, and states the 3.12 default for `python_version`.

This page describes a LanceDB Enterprise capability. The embedded form
of LanceDB has no server to provide it -- see
[Architecture](/architecture) for what differs between the two.
LanceDB Enterprise runs the lakehouse as a service: a control plane for
configuration, identity and policy; a data plane serving reads and writes; and
indexers building indexes and compacting outside the request path.
What it adds over the embedded form:
| | |
| --- | --- |
| [SQL](/sql) | an Arrow Flight SQL endpoint |
| [Functions](/management/function) {/* if functions launched */} | Python running on workers |
| [Jobs](/basics/jobs) | server-side work with ids, status and events |
| [Authorization](/governance/authorization) | per-object grants |
| Scale | a cluster rather than your process |
See [Architecture](/architecture) for the two shapes side by side.
