Jack Ye 7f52ec8c36 feat(python): support child namepsace operations and json serialization for LanceDBConnection (#3265) ...

## Summary

Add connection serialization and child namespace support to
`LanceDBConnection`.

- `DBConnection.serialize()` / `lancedb.deserialize()` for connection
reconstruction in remote workers
- Cache `namespace_client()` in `LanceDBConnection` to avoid repeated
DirectoryNamespace builds
- `LanceDBConnection` transparently delegates child namespace operations
(open_table, create_table, list_tables, drop_table, create_namespace,
etc.) to `LanceNamespaceDBConnection` via `_namespace_conn()`
- Root namespace operations still go through the original Rust path
- Generic worker property override mechanism: any
`namespace_client_properties` key prefixed with `_lancedb_worker_` has
the prefix stripped and overrides the corresponding property when
`deserialize(data, for_worker=True)`
- `LanceNamespaceDBConnection` stores
`namespace_client_impl`/`namespace_client_properties` for serialization
roundtrip
