lancedb-gatefixer[bot] 9c3e1cbae7 fix: reject cloning onto an existing local table (#4416) ...

Local `clone_table` passed existing targets to Lance's clone
transaction, which entered the manifest-update path and failed with
`Clone operation should not enter build_manifest`.

Check the target dataset using the connection's storage options and
session before cloning, and return `TableAlreadyExists` when it exists.
Propagate other read errors. Add regression coverage for cloning onto
the source itself and onto a different existing table, with both
manifest layouts, verifying that rows and version histories remain
unchanged.

Validation:

- All four regression cases reproduced the reported internal error
before the fix.
- `cargo test --locked --quiet --profile ci --features remote -p lancedb
--lib test_clone -j 12`: 24 passed.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` and `git diff --check` passed.
- `cargo clippy --locked --quiet --profile ci --features remote -p
lancedb --tests --examples -j 12` passed.

Fixes #4387
