SIDDARTHA REDDY d37a6b76a4 fix: gate remote job error construction behind the remote feature (#4233)
## Summary

Fixes #4142: `lancedb` failed to compile without the `remote` feature.

`TerminalResult::decode` in `rust/lancedb/src/job.rs` constructed the
`Error::Http` variant unconditionally, but that variant is declared
behind
`#[cfg(feature = "remote")]` in `rust/lancedb/src/error.rs`. Since the
crate's default feature set is empty, a plain `lancedb = "0.38"`
dependency
failed with:

```
error[E0599]: no variant named `Http` found for enum `error::Error`
  --> rust/lancedb/src/job.rs:102:40
```

The module itself is not remote-only (it carries local job support), so
instead of gating `pub mod job`, both `Error::Http` constructions now go
through a small `remote_job_error` helper that resolves to `Error::Http`
with the `remote` feature and falls back to `Error::Runtime` without it.
A `request_id` is only ever `Some` for remote jobs, so the fallback is
unreachable in practice without the feature.

## Testing

- Reproduced the reported failure on current `main`:
  `cargo check -p lancedb --no-default-features` failed with the exact
  E0599 errors from the issue before the change, and passes after it.
- `cargo check -p lancedb --features remote` passes with no errors and
no
  new warnings.
- Added two regression tests in `rust/lancedb/src/job.rs`
  (`decode_missing_result_uses_feature_appropriate_error`,
`decode_unparsable_result_uses_feature_appropriate_error`) asserting the
error variant matches the feature configuration. The test code compiles
  under the fixed configuration (`cargo check --tests` passes), and the
  branching logic was executed standalone against both feature cfgs
(3/3 green with and without `remote`). The full `cargo test` binary link
  could not complete on the small build VM available here (the linker
  stalled), so CI coverage of the new tests is appreciated.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` is clean.

## Disclosure

AI assistance was used while preparing this change (code search,
editing,
and verification commands were agent-driven); the diagnosis, fix design,
and all test results above were verified by actually running the builds.
