LuQQiu b762ec221b docs: add Enterprise distributed search reference page (#4625)
Adds the Enterprise reference page at
`docs/web/enterprise/distributed-search.mdx`, following the same
arrangement as Enterprise architecture. The page describes distributed
search and the embedded execution model, with links to shared search
guides. Enterprise architecture links to it, and the official sidebar
lists it immediately after Architecture in the existing Deployment
group.

Adds stable anchors for the RaBitQ and `approx_mode` sections linked by
the Enterprise guide.

Companion: https://github.com/lancedb/sophon/pull/8986 supplies the
detailed Enterprise overlay at the same path. Merge this reference-page
PR first so the overlay has an existing route to replace.

Validation:
- Combined-site assembly with both PR branches passed (309 files).
- Mintlify build validation and link, anchor, and redirect checks
passed.

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.
A deployment separates compute from storage so each scales on its own: table
data and indexes live in object storage, while query serving and background work
run on machines that can be replaced without any of them owning the data.
[Architecture](/architecture) covers this alongside the embedded form, which is
the comparison most readers want first.
See [Distributed search](/enterprise/distributed-search) for how Enterprise
distributes index execution and table-data reads.
