Daniel RammerandClaude Opus 5.5 d7e921dbec refactor!: rename the LSM table APIs to MemWAL
The write path these APIs drive is Lance's MemWAL, and "LSM" described
its shape rather than naming it. The surface now says MemWAL, and turning
it on and off reads as enabling a feature rather than installing a spec.

| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `set_lsm_write_spec` | `enable_memwal` |
| `unset_lsm_write_spec` | `disable_memwal` |
| `get_lsm_write_spec` | `get_memwal_spec` |
| `flush_lsm` / `compact_lsm` / `checkpoint_lsm` | `flush_memwal` / `compact_memwal` / `checkpoint_memwal` |
| `get_lsm_stats` | `get_memwal_stats` |
| `close_lsm_writers` | `close_memwal_writers` |
| `use_lsm` (query, merge insert) | `use_memwal` |
| `LsmWriteSpec` / `LsmStats` | `MemWalWriteSpec` / `MemWalStats` |
| Java `LanceDbTableLsm` | `LanceDbTableMemWal` |

TypeScript and Java use camelCase (`enableMemWal`, `getMemWalStats`,
...); the napi methods set `js_name` so the generated names keep the
`MemWal` casing. The flush/compact/checkpoint methods keep a `_memwal`
suffix so `compact_memwal` is not confused with `compact_files` and
`optimize`, which compact the base table.

## Wire

The remote routes and JSON envelopes move with the SDKs and must ship
together with the matching server change:

- `/set_lsm_write_spec/` -> `/enable_memwal/`, `/unset_lsm_write_spec/`
  -> `/disable_memwal/`, `/get_lsm_write_spec/` -> `/get_memwal_spec/`,
  `/flush_lsm/`, `/compact_lsm/`, `/get_lsm_stats/` -> `*_memwal/`
- response keys `lsm_write_spec` -> `memwal_spec`, `lsm_stats` ->
  `memwal_stats`; query and merge-insert body field `use_lsm` ->
  `use_memwal`

## Also fixed

The previous rename turned the Java `bucket` sharding mode into
`tableShard` in the javadoc example and tests, and the test fixtures
sent `tableShards` where the parser reads `table_shards`, so the Java
tests did not compile. Both are restored.

Internal names (`LsmMode`, `LsmScanner`, the `merge::lsm` and
`query::lsm` modules) are unchanged.
