Will Jones 85d870b397 fix: parse RFC 3339 created_at and improve IndexConfig repr (#3558)
The server now serializes an index's `created_at` as an RFC 3339 string
(e.g. `"2026-06-18T21:37:36.637Z"`), but the client deserializer only
accepted a unix timestamp in milliseconds. This caused `list_indices` to
fail with:

```
Failed to parse list_indices response: invalid type: string "2026-06-18T21:37:36.637Z", expected a unix timestamp in milliseconds
```

This PR replaces the fixed millisecond deserializer with a custom one
that accepts both an RFC 3339 string (current server) and a
unix-millisecond integer (legacy deployments), so the client works
against any server version.

It also improves the `IndexConfig` repr in the Python bindings.
Previously it printed only three fields (`Index(FTS, columns=["text"],
name="text_idx")`), hiding the metadata that `list_indices` returns. It
now renders every populated field, omitting any that are `None`. Each
value is valid Python — integer counts use `_` thousands separators and
`created_at` uses the `datetime` repr — so values round-trip. The real
repr is a single line; it's wrapped here for readability:

```python
>>> table.list_indices()
[IndexConfig(
    name="text_idx",
    index_type="FTS",
    columns=["text"],
    index_uuid="aefd3e00-2f95-4bdc-92ac-06de84442bf1",
    type_url="/lance.table.InvertedIndexDetails",
    created_at=datetime.datetime(2026, 6, 18, 21, 37, 36, 637000, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
    num_indexed_rows=2,
    size_bytes=3_669,
    num_segments=1,
    index_version=1,
    index_details={
        'lance_tokenizer': None,
        'base_tokenizer': 'simple',
        'language': 'English',
        'with_position': False,
        'max_token_length': 40,
        'lower_case': True,
        'stem': True,
        'remove_stop_words': True,
        'custom_stop_words': None,
        'ascii_folding': True,
        'min_ngram_length': 3,
        'max_ngram_length': 3,
        'prefix_only': False,
    },
)]
```
