Wyatt Alt c72f5b2960 feat: bind a materialized view refresh to the view incarnation (#4043)
A caller that queues a refresh and executes it later can only tell the
view it captured from a drop-and-recreate by comparing the definition
and
version. A recreated view with the same definition and an equal or
higher
version passes that check, and the check runs before the refresh reloads
the view, so it never sees the state it commits against.

This mints an `mv.incarnation` token in the schema metadata at each
physical creation of a view table.
`RefreshMaterializedViewBuilder::expect_incarnation` carries the
captured
token into the refresh, which compares it against the latest stored
manifest before planning and again immediately before each commit
(publish, fragment swap, watermark stamp), refusing to land in a
different
incarnation. A view with no token -- declared before tokens existed, or
its metadata replaced wholesale -- is refused under a bound refresh with
its own wording and is minted one by its next unbound refresh. The token
is exposed through `MaterializedView::incarnation`; refreshes without an
expectation are unchanged.

This is best effort: the token is not part of lance's commit condition,
so a recreation landing between the final pre-commit read and the commit
itself is not caught. Closing that window needs a base-manifest
precondition in lance's commit path.
