Will Jones 66804e99fc fix(python): use correct exception types in namespace tests (#3206)
## Summary
- Namespace tests expected `RuntimeError` for table-not-found and
namespace-not-empty cases, but `lance_namespace` raises
`TableNotFoundError` and `NamespaceNotEmptyError` which inherit from
`Exception`, not `RuntimeError`.
- Updated `pytest.raises` to use the correct exception types.

## Test plan
- [x] CI passes on `test_namespace.py`

A Python library for LanceDB.

Installation

pip install lancedb

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.
