Updates Lance dependencies to v8.0.0-beta.2 across the Rust workspace and Java lance-core metadata. The update was generated with ci/update_lance_dependency.py and required no compatibility code changes. Lance tag: https://github.com/lance-format/lance/releases/tag/v8.0.0-beta.2 ## ⛔ Merge blocker: legal review required This bump pulls in a new transitive **dev/profiling** dependency chain `inferno v0.11.21` → `pprof v0.15.0` → `lance-testing`, and `inferno` is licensed **CDDL-1.0** (copyleft). To get `cargo-deny` green, `CDDL-1.0` was added to the `deny.toml` allow list. **Do not merge until legal has reviewed and signed off on allowing CDDL-1.0.** The dependency is dev/test-only and not distributed, but the allow-list addition still requires legal approval per our policy. --------- Co-authored-by: Daniel Rammer <hamersaw@protonmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
