We already have code that it generic over Utf8 and LargeUtf8, so it should mostly be a matter to findings the places where we match on those and add cases for StringView.

Research direction
Start in rust/lance-arrow/src/lib.rs around the Utf8 and LargeUtf8 matches, then inspect rust/lance-index/src/scalar/inverted/index.rs around the referenced index logic. Find the corresponding StringView cases and verify that FTS indices support StringView wherever they already support those types.
