feat(engine): frontier-size Expand dispatcher + lazy CSR build

Replace the env-only mode switch with an auto policy: Expand uses the
BTREE-indexed path when the source frontier is small and the hop count bounded
(OMNIGRAPH_EXPAND_INDEXED_MAX_FRONTIER=1024, OMNIGRAPH_EXPAND_INDEXED_MAX_HOPS=6),
else the in-memory CSR. OMNIGRAPH_TRAVERSAL_MODE=indexed|csr still forces a mode.

Make the CSR index lazy: thread a GraphIndexHandle (memoizing OnceCell over a
Cached/Direct/None builder) through execute_query/execute_pipeline/
execute_rrf_query/execute_anti_join instead of a pre-built Option<&GraphIndex>.
A query served entirely by the indexed path with no AntiJoin never pays the
O(|E|) CSR build — the perf win of Tier 3. AntiJoin still realizes the index
(its negation uses CSR has_neighbors).

Net effect: selective traversals (the common case) skip the whole-graph CSR
build and resolve neighbors from the persisted, incrementally-maintained
src/dst BTREE. Existing traversal/aggregation/end_to_end/search suites now run
the indexed path by default and stay green.

Docs: constants.md (new env knobs), query-language.md (Expand dual path),
indexes.md (graph index is lazy + the indexed alternative).

@ -21,6 +21,6 @@ This is OmniGraph-specific (not Lance):
- `TypeIndex`: dense `u32 ↔ String id` mapping per node type.
- `CsrIndex`: Compressed Sparse Row representation of edges per edge type — `offsets[i]..offsets[i+1]` slices into `targets`.
- `GraphIndex { type_indices, csr (out), csc (in) }` — built on demand from a snapshot's edge tables.
- `GraphIndex { type_indices, csr (out), csc (in) }` — built on demand from a snapshot's edge tables, **lazily**: only when an `Expand` the planner routes to the CSR path (dense / large frontier) or an `AntiJoin` actually needs it.
- Cached in `RuntimeCache::graph_indices` (LRU, max 8 entries, keyed by snapshot id + edge table versions).
- Built only when an `Expand` or `AntiJoin` IR op is present in the lowered query, so pure scans skip it.
- Selective `Expand`s resolve neighbors from the persisted `src`/`dst` BTREE instead (one indexed scan per hop) and never trigger the CSR build; see [query-language](query-language.md) → Expand. Pure scans, and queries served entirely by the indexed traversal path, skip it.
