Sean Mackrory 55ae6197c1 fix(python): drop version from Table __repr__ (#3411)
There have been a couple of reports of this function freezing debuggers
because it triggers a network round-trip but is assumed to be extremely
light-weight: https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/discussions/2853. We'll
just cache the last version we see.

I considered digging into see if we could assume or get the version at
create time or after other operations, but that could be a bit of a
rabbit hole as I'm a bit unfamiliar with this. Claude was having a hard
time of it too 😅 I propose we see how the currently implementation goes
and improve it if people find "unknown" or stale values coming up
disruptively often before improving this further.
