XYZhan 4d756066ef fix(lsm): gate SSTable exclusion on every index a query uses
The MemWAL LSM scanner resolved one index and capped SSTable exclusion at that
index's catch-up watermark. A query can rely on more than one: a hybrid search
reads both a vector and a full-text index, and either may lag the other. Gating
on whichever was resolved first dropped SSTables holding rows the other index
had not yet indexed, and that arm silently returned fewer rows.

exclusion_watermarks now takes every index the query relies on and retains to
the lowest of their watermarks, and the resolver collects the vector and
full-text arms together rather than returning at the first match. A plain scan
still uses the compaction watermark alone.

Both remaining behaviours are unchanged: an index with no catch-up entry
contributes no cap, and a caught-up index falls back to the compaction
watermark.

Two parts of the safe-retirement query behaviour are not here because they
depend on Lance changes this repository cannot yet see -- lancedb pins lance to
the v10.1.0-beta.2 tag:

- selecting legacy versus safe semantics from the manifest feature bit, so that
  on an activated table a *missing* coverage entry means "unknown" and retains
  SSTables rather than reading as "fully caught up";
- collecting scalar and bitmap-family indexes used as prefilters, which needs
  the filter's referenced columns and so must handle SQL, Substrait and
  Datafusion filter forms.

Both land once lance carries the feature bit and this crate is bumped.
