Description

we completed VectorIndexExtension type in https://github.com/lancedb/lance/pull/2250

Existing V2 vector indices should all be refactored into implementations of VectorIndexExtension, to make sure we always expose a consistent set of APIs on indices

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the `VectorIndexExtension` type defined in PR #2250, then refactor each existing V2 vector index to implement that interface, ensuring consistency.
