Brendan Clement 758f738b8c docs: complete ingestion, search and integration examples (#4533)
This PR is part of the documentation revamp. Once the full set of PRs is
merged, we’ll publish the combined site to staging for review before
updating docs.lancedb.com.

Ingestion, search and integration examples are incomplete or
inconsistent across languages, and some guidance misstates SDK behavior.

This brings the guides and their example sources together. It includes
complete Python, TypeScript and Rust workflows, isolated provider and
reranker examples, the Superlinked corrections, and guidance on retries
that can duplicate writes.

Stacked on #4491. Each MDX file has one PR owner. Rebase onto main after
#4491 is squash-merged.

Local assembly, Mint validation and link checks pass. Example code is
unchanged from the previously validated package. Publication stays held
through integration.

Voyage AI provides cutting-edge embedding and rerankers.
Using voyageai API requires voyageai package, which can be installed using `pip install voyageai`. Voyage AI embeddings are used to generate embeddings for text data. The embeddings can be used for various tasks like semantic search, clustering, and classification.
You also need to set the `VOYAGE_API_KEY` environment variable to use the VoyageAI API.
```shell
export VOYAGE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
Supported models are:
- voyage-4-large (best retrieval quality, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
- voyage-4 (balanced general-purpose, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
- voyage-4-lite (optimized for latency/cost, 1024 default dimensions, supports 256/512/1024/2048)
- voyage-context-3
- voyage-3.5
- voyage-3.5-lite
- voyage-3
- voyage-3-lite
- voyage-finance-2
- voyage-multilingual-2
- voyage-law-2
- voyage-code-2
- voyage-multimodal-3.5 (multimodal - supports text, images, and video)
<Info>
**Multimodal Model:** `voyage-multimodal-3.5` supports text, images, and video inputs. It outputs 1024-dimensional embeddings by default, configurable via the `output_dimension` parameter (256, 512, 1024, 2048). See the [VoyageAI multimodal embeddings documentation](https://docs.voyageai.com/docs/multimodal-embeddings) for more details.

Supported parameters (to be passed in `create` method) are:
| Parameter | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|--------|---------|
| `name` | `str` | `None` | The model ID of the model to use. Supported models: voyage-4-large, voyage-4, voyage-4-lite, voyage-3, voyage-3-lite, voyage-3.5, voyage-3.5-lite, voyage-context-3, voyage-finance-2, voyage-multilingual-2, voyage-law-2, voyage-code-2, voyage-multimodal-3.5 |
| `input_type` | `str` | `None` | Type of the input text. Default to None. Other options: query, document. |
| `truncation` | `bool` | `True` | Whether to truncate the input texts to fit within the context length. |
| `output_dimension` | `int` | `None` | Output embedding dimension. Only supported by `voyage-multimodal-3.5`. Valid options: 256, 512, 1024 (default), 2048. |
