Description
Right now it's passed for FTS and scalar indices, but not vector indices.
Passing this will make it easier to test cases where vector indices aren't fully up to date.

Research direction
Start in rust/lance/src/index/create.rs at the linked lines, comparing how CreateIndexBuilder.fragments() is passed for FTS and scalar indices with the vector-index path. Confirm that vector index creation receives the fragments, then exercise the relevant index creation tests, including cases where vector indices are not fully up to date.
