Will Jones f8caef3aca feat(bindings): expose new IndexConfig fields in Python and Node.js (#3534)
## Summary

Surfaces the rich per-index metadata added in #3497 to the Python and
Node.js language bindings. Closes #3495.

New optional fields exposed on `IndexConfig` in both bindings:

- `index_uuid` / `indexUuid` — UUID of the first index segment
- `type_url` / `typeUrl` — protobuf type URL for the index
- `created_at` / `createdAt` — creation timestamp (milliseconds since
Unix epoch)
- `num_indexed_rows` / `numIndexedRows` — rows covered by the index
- `num_unindexed_rows` / `numUnindexedRows` — rows not yet indexed
- `size_bytes` / `sizeBytes` — total index file size in bytes
- `num_segments` / `numSegments` — number of index segments
- `index_version` / `indexVersion` — on-disk format version
- `index_details` / `indexDetails` — type-specific JSON details string

All fields are `None`/`undefined` for remote tables (which don't yet
surface this metadata through the server response).

## Changes

- `python/src/index.rs`: extend `IndexConfig` pyclass; update `From`
impl; update `__getitem__`
- `python/python/lancedb/_lancedb.pyi`: add type hints for new fields
- `python/python/tests/test_table.py`: new `test_index_config_fields`
test
- `nodejs/src/table.rs`: extend `IndexConfig` napi struct; update `From`
impl
- `nodejs/__test__/table.test.ts`: new test; update existing `toEqual`
assertions to `expect.objectContaining` to accommodate new fields

## Test plan

- [x] Python: `uv run --extra tests pytest
python/tests/test_table.py::test_index_config_fields`
- [x] Node.js: `pnpm test __test__/table.test.ts`

# Interface: IndexConfig
A description of an index currently configured on a column
## Properties
### columns
```ts
columns: string[];
```
The columns in the index
Currently this is always an array of size 1. In the future there may
be more columns to represent composite indices.
***
### createdAt?
```ts
optional createdAt: Date;
```
When the index was created.
`undefined` for remote tables or indices created before timestamps were tracked.
***
### indexDetails?
```ts
optional indexDetails: any;
```
Index-type-specific details parsed as a JavaScript object.
Falls back to a raw string if JSON parsing fails. `undefined` for
remote tables or when details are unavailable.
***
### indexType
```ts
indexType: string;
```
The type of the index
***
### indexUuid?
```ts
optional indexUuid: string;
```
The UUID of the first segment of the index.
`undefined` for remote tables, which do not yet surface this.
***
### indexVersion?
```ts
optional indexVersion: number;
```
The on-disk index format version.
`undefined` for remote tables.
***
### name
```ts
name: string;
```
The name of the index
***
### numIndexedRows?
```ts
optional numIndexedRows: number;
```
The number of rows indexed, across all segments.
`undefined` for remote tables.
***
### numSegments?
```ts
optional numSegments: number;
```
The number of segments that make up the index.
`undefined` for remote tables.
***
### numUnindexedRows?
```ts
optional numUnindexedRows: number;
```
The number of rows not yet covered by this index.
`undefined` for remote tables.
***
### sizeBytes?
```ts
optional sizeBytes: number;
```
The total size in bytes of all index files across all segments.
`undefined` for remote tables or indices without size tracking.
***
### typeUrl?
```ts
optional typeUrl: string;
```
The protobuf type URL, a precise type identifier for the index.
`undefined` for remote tables.
