feat: notebook/Arrow interop, DataFrame ergonomics, and function breadth

[lukekim]

Summary

Completes the remaining pure-SQL-client items from the DataFusion parity audit (following #167 and #168), in one PR. All function names were verified against DataFusion's documented function set before implementing.

Interop / display (the headline)

• _repr_html_ — a SpiceDataFrame now renders a preview (first rows) as an HTML table in Jupyter/notebooks
• __arrow_c_stream__ — exposes results via the Arrow C stream (PyCapsule) protocol, so Arrow-native consumers ingest a SpiceDataFrame directly:

  pa.table(df)            # or pa.RecordBatchReader.from_stream(df)
  pl.DataFrame(df)        # polars
  duckdb.sql("SELECT * FROM df")

• df["a"] / df[["a", "b"]] — column selection via __getitem__
• intersect(other, all=True) / except_(other, all=True) — INTERSECT ALL / EXCEPT ALL

Function breadth (functions)

• math: sin/cos/tan/asin/acos/atan/atan2, sinh/cosh/tanh/cot, log2, log10, cbrt, trunc, signum, pi, degrees, radians, gcd, lcm, factorial, nanvl, isnan, iszero
• strings: ltrim/rtrim/btrim, lpad, rpad, initcap, left, right, reverse, repeat, translate, concat_ws, split_part, strpos, regexp_replace, ascii, chr, to_hex
• date/time: to_timestamp, to_date, from_unixtime, to_unixtime, make_date, to_char
• null: nvl

Explicitly deferred (and why)

Audit items I did not ship, because they can't be done correctly from the client alone or I couldn't verify them against a runtime — shipping them would risk runtime-failing SQL or dead code:

• Flight do_put local-data ingestion — the biggest functional gap (today from_pandas inlines rows as VALUES), but it needs the Spice runtime to accept an uploaded ephemeral table. Requires runtime-side support + a live runtime to verify. Best as its own PR with runtime coordination.
• Async client / execute_stream — a substantial transport change (async Flight); worth its own focused PR.
• cosine_distance / dot_product / inner_product — native availability isn't confirmed across DataFusion versions (see Support array_dot_product/list_dot_product apache/datafusion#12475). array_distance (shipped in feat: array & struct support + DataFrame unnest / joins / describe #168) covers L2.
• distinct_on / union_by_name — DISTINCT ON / UNION BY NAME support in the target runtime is unverified; deferred rather than emit uncertain SQL.

Testing

• SQL-composition tests for every new function + the DataFrame methods (incl. an __arrow_c_stream__ round-trip through pa.RecordBatchReader.from_stream, and a _repr_html_ that asserts the preview uses a LIMIT query)
• Full non-runtime gate green: 407 unit tests, ruff ✓, flake8 ✓, black ✓, mypy ✓ (3.11–3.14), pylint 9.24/10, bandit 0 issues

Pull request overview

Expands the SpicePy client-side SQL builder to improve notebook/Arrow interoperability and DataFrame ergonomics, while broadening the functions surface area to match more of DataFusion’s built-in function set.

Changes:

• Add notebook/interop features to SpiceDataFrame (_repr_html_, __arrow_c_stream__, and df[...] column selection).
• Extend set operations to support INTERSECT ALL / EXCEPT ALL.
• Add many new SQL function wrappers across math/strings/datetime/null handling, with accompanying unit tests for a subset.
