Description
We need to support vector indexes in the SQL metadata tables:
`crdb_internal.table_indexes`: besides adding a row here, the proposal would be to add an `is_vector` boolean column to parallel the existing `is_inverted` boolean column, or maybe something more generalized like `index_details`.
`pg_catalog`: we need to add a row here, with the `pg_am` (access method) column having the value `vector`, to match the existing `prefix`/`inverted` values. We might also consider using `cspann`.
