lancedb-gatefixer[bot]andXuanwo 1edfa6077b fix(python): allow phrase queries without a column (#4653)
Quoted async full-text queries without `columns` carry an unset phrase
column, but converting them to Python unwrapped it and raised
`PanicException`. Python also required `PhraseQuery.column`, preventing
callers from constructing the equivalent query object.

Make the Python column optional and preserve `Option<String>` in both
Rust conversion directions, leaving column selection to query planning.
Regression tests cover quoted strings and structured queries with
omitted, `None`, and explicit columns, query reuse, JSON serialization,
slop, and document granularity.

Validation:

- Reproduced both missing-column failures before the fix;
explicit-column controls passed.
- Rebuilt the extension with `uv run --extra tests --extra dev maturin
develop --extras tests,dev`.
- `cd python && uv run --no-sync --extra tests pytest
python/tests/test_fts.py
python/tests/test_query.py::test_query_serialization_async -q`: 85
passed.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` and `ruff check python` pass; touched
Python files pass formatting checks.
- `cargo clippy --quiet -p lancedb-python --lib --features remote`
passes.
- Root-wide `ruff check .` reports 49 existing findings in unchanged
documentation examples.

Fixes #4651
