jasonz-lance f5e23ab080 fix(python): pin table version and drop to_lance() for 2-phase reads
Two independent fixes to 2-phase shuffled reads, found by the same
gatekeeper review pass:

- Packed checkpoint resume: the 2-phase branch of _iter_owned read the
  (empty, in packed mode) row-mode cursor maps instead of
  _pack_consumed, so restoring a packed checkpoint silently replayed
  already-consumed documents. Now mirrors the 1-phase branch's check.

- Version pinning + remote (Cloud) table support: 2-phase previously
  called self._table.to_lance() fresh at iteration time, which (a)
  raises NotImplementedError on RemoteTable, since to_lance() only
  works against a local table, and (b) re-reads whatever version is
  live at that moment rather than the one the block plan was computed
  against, so a write to the table between construction and iteration
  (or between epochs) could shift which rows a block refers to.

  Now pins table.version (and rejects a table checked out to a
  non-default branch, which isn't supported yet) at construction, and
  reads through a private handle reopened via the same
  connection_factory/pickle-state machinery already used for worker
  reconnects, checked out to that pinned version. Reads go through
  Table's backend-agnostic query builder (search/select/take_offsets),
  the same interface RemoteTable implements, instead of pylance's
  to_lance(). take_offsets doesn't guarantee its output order, so
  filtered block reads always additionally select "_rowoffset" and
  sort locally by it to restore the requested order.

Extends MockPermutationServer (utils.py) to answer the offset/limit
scan and _rowoffset-filtered take request shapes 2-phase now sends,
and adds tests for both fixes plus 2-phase over a (mocked) remote
table, unfiltered and filtered+shuffled.
