Brendan Clement ec44eb72fa docs: say which Function outputs may be nullable
The page said every Function output must be non-nullable. On this SDK
only a scalar output must be. A named-struct output may declare nullable
fields: whether a row has a result at all is the struct's own validity,
which Enterprise keeps in a separate internal column when it expands the
result into sibling columns.

test_function_output_nullability checks both rules against the SDK,
including that a struct declared as a single nullable field is refused.

"""Examples for docs/web/management/function.mdx.
Registering a Function and filling its column need a LanceDB Enterprise
deployment, so `test_function_enterprise` runs only when the connection
variables the Enterprise examples already use are set: LANCEDB_URI,
LANCEDB_API_KEY and LANCEDB_HOST_OVERRIDE, plus LANCEDB_REGION if the
deployment needs one. It creates the table `function_demo` and a version of
the Function `double` in that database, and drops both when it finishes.
The other tests run locally and check the client side of the same code: what
`@udf` sends for registration, how a registered version binds a column, and
where a local connection stops. They do not run a Function remotely.
