Xuanwo 1b40e479d3 fix(python): surface Function drop warnings (#4880)
Remote Python `drop_function` currently discards the dependent-view
warnings returned by SQL DROP. Both the synchronous and coroutine APIs
now emit those warnings through `warnings.warn` while preserving their
boolean result and executing DROP once. The server support is already
merged in lancedb/sophon#9820.

The Rust decoder reads warnings across every result batch, including an
empty first batch. Missing warning columns remain compatible with older
servers; malformed or null warning lists are rejected. The hidden
binding bridge carries the warnings to Python. The separate
`drop_function_async` API and its `(bool, Job)` contract are unchanged.
Python warning filters can raise after the catalog mutation has
completed.

Validation: a compiled PyO3/public-server reproduction failed before the
fix and passed afterward; the public async path also returned `true`
with the expected dependent-view warning. Final source passes two
focused Rust tests, two Python wrapper tests, strict targeted Clippy,
formatting, and Ruff. Three decoder tests cover batch/null/type and
older-server behavior. The public runs preceded a two-file
simplification of the completed Job projection; focused final-source
checks cover that delta. Current-main integration is conflict-free, and
its overlapping changes concern independent retry-policy APIs/tests.

Documentation now covers warning filters, the post-removal
warnings-as-errors behavior, and silent compatibility with older
servers. The follow-up changes only prose and a Python docstring; the
runtime validation above remains applicable.

Refs ENT-3659. Whole-issue independent acceptance remains pending.
