`execute_query` / `execute_query_async` can now bind values to `$1` /
`$name` placeholders instead of splicing them into the SQL text. The
values travel as Arrow, so a float32 keeps its exact bits and type and a
vector stays a compact `FixedSizeList` (3 KB for 768 dims rather than ~9
KB of decimal literals parsed back as Float64).
```rust
db.execute_query_async("SELECT id FROM docs ORDER BY distance(vector, $vector) LIMIT $k")
.parameters(batch) // one-row RecordBatch
.execute()
.await?;
```
```python
db.execute_query(sql, parameters={"vector": np.float32_vector, "k": 10})
```
- A statement with parameters is sent on one `DoExchange`: the first
message carries the `CommandStatementQuery` descriptor and the parameter
schema, the second the one-row batch, and the result rows stream back on
the same call. Statements without parameters keep `PollFlightInfo` +
`DoGet` unchanged.
- Column `i` binds `$<i+1>`; a column whose name is not a number also
binds `$<name>`. Python accepts a list (positional), a dict (named), or
a one-row `RecordBatch` / `Table`; 1-D numpy / pyarrow arrays become a
`FixedSizeList` of their element type.
- A parameterized query runs on its call: `cancel()`, dropping the
handle before reading, or dropping the reader ends the call and stops
the server-side statement. It is still registered for `describe_query`.
- `Database::execute_query_async` now takes an `ExecuteQueryRequest`
options struct.
