Will Jones f03abc27e3 feat: expand IndexConfig with rich per-index metadata (#3497)
`IndexConfig` (returned by `Table::list_indices`) previously exposed
only `name`, `index_type`, and `columns`. Lance's `describe_indices`
provides richer per-index info cheaply (reads manifest metadata, often
cached), so this surfaces it.

Adds these `Option<T>` fields to `lancedb::index::IndexConfig`,
populated in `NativeTable::list_indices` from the `IndexDescription`:

- `index_uuid`: uuid of the first segment
- `type_url`: protobuf type URL (`IndexDescription::type_url`)
- `created_at`: minimum creation time across segments
- `num_indexed_rows`: approximate rows indexed across segments
- `num_unindexed_rows`: table row count minus `num_indexed_rows`
- `size_bytes`: total size of index files across segments
- `num_segments`: number of segments making up the index
- `index_version`: on-disk index format version (first segment)
- `index_details`: index-type-specific details as JSON

This field set mirrors the lance-namespace `IndexContent` contract
(lance-format/lance-namespace#348) so client and server agree on the
same shape. Note these are populated **locally** via `describe_indices`
— `NativeTable::list_indices` reads the dataset directly and does not
depend on the namespace spec change.

`RemoteTable` leaves the new fields `None` until a follow-up wires them
through the server response (#3494). Bindings exposure will also be a
follow up: #3495

Existing `list_indices` tests in `rust/lancedb/src/table.rs` are
extended to assert the new fields.

Fixes #3492
