refactor!: Replace eager: bool with "lazy-in-lazy-out"

[Oliver Borchert (borchero)]

Motivation

Currently, we have a parameter eager: bool to govern whether validation and filtering is performed eagerly or lazily. This is a little inconsistent with what one would expect when familiar with the polars API:

• For schema validation/filtering, we can easily replace the parameter entirely with "lazy-in-lazy-out"/"eager-in-eager-out" behavior. This also makes user code more consistent as collection is not implicit in the case of a lazy input, but requires an explicit collect.
• For collection validation/filtering, we take the same approach as for sink_parquet: by default, we collect, but this can be "disabled" by setting lazy=True (unless the collection defines at least one eager member).

Pull request overview

This PR removes the eager: bool toggle from schema-level validation/filtering APIs in favor of Polars-style “lazy-in-lazy-out / eager-in-eager-out” behavior, and introduces a lazy: bool switch for collection-level validation/filtering to control whether collections are returned lazily (with restrictions when eager members exist).

Changes:

• Refactored Schema.validate / Schema.filter to determine eager vs lazy behavior from the input frame type rather than an eager flag.
• Updated Collection.validate / Collection.filter to use lazy: bool (default False) and added validation that lazy=True cannot be used when the collection has eager members.
• Updated tests and benchmarks to match the new API and semantics.

dataframely/collection/collection.py:599

• Collection.filter's docstring claims member frames are always eagerly collected, but the new lazy parameter allows returning a fully lazy result. The parameter description should reflect the conditional behavior.

                All data frames passed here will be eagerly collected within the method,
                regardless of whether they are a :class:`~polars.DataFrame` or
                :class:`~polars.LazyFrame`.

Nice!
