SHAIK SHIVAJI 45edaa350e feat(python): expose code analyzer options on FTS and tokenize
Part of #4364 (Python side; the TypeScript `FtsOptions` change will follow in a separate PR).

Lance already supports the code analyzer, but `FTS` and `lancedb.tokenize()` had no way to set it, so `FTS({'analyzer': 'code'})` and `FTS(split_identifiers=True)` raised `TypeError`.

## Changes

- `FTS` and `lancedb.tokenize()` gain `analyzer` (`"text"` or `"code"`), `split_identifiers`, `split_on_numerics`, `preserve_original` and `index_operators`. They default to `None`, which keeps the tokenizer's own defaults, so existing indexes and calls are unchanged.
- Validation follows pylance: `analyzer="code"` with a `base_tokenizer` other than `"code"` or the default `"simple"` is rejected, `analyzer="text"` with `base_tokenizer="code"` is rejected, and turning on a code flag without the code analyzer is rejected. Passing a flag as `False` is always allowed.
- `analyzer="code"` with the default `base_tokenizer="simple"` selects the code tokenizer. `FTS` can't tell an explicit `"simple"` from the default, so that case is accepted too.
- The deprecated `create_fts_index` is left alone; it points users at `create_index(config=FTS(...))`.
- Rust `FtsIndexBuilder` is Lance's `InvertedIndexParams`, so the Rust SDK already had these options. The remote client serializes the same struct, so the options reach LanceDB Distributed in the `create_index` request body. A new case in the Rust `test_create_index` checks that body.

## Tests

- `python/tests/test_fts.py`: tokenizer output for each flag, validation errors for `tokenize` and `FTS`, `False` flags on a text index, and local sync and async indexes that match `http`, `request` and `parseHTTPRequest` with splitting on and not match subwords with it off.
- `cargo test --features remote remote::table::tests::test_create_index`
