Weston Pace f6c9d31f98 feat: add polars dataframe integration (#3584)
This PR is part cleanup, part feature, part example.

It removes `IntoArrow` and `IntoArrowStream`. There was only one
redundant call site between the two. Once we moved everything to
`Scannable` these traits no longer serve any purpose.

It adds a `Scannable` impl for a polars DataFrame. We used to have this
at one point for `IntoArrow` so this is more like a regression fix than
anything.

It adds an example (and unit test) which ensures we can ingest from a
Polars DataFrame and export to one. LazyFrame support would be a
follow-up (though a pretty straightforward one) but we've never had
proper LazyFrame support before.

const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
