Summary
Replace Polars defaults plus dtype-full with the features used by the core anndata crate.
The retained set covers CSV reading, lazy concatenation, ndarray conversion, categorical values, and the feature-gated 8/16-bit signed and unsigned scalar types supported by AnnData tables. The core crate does not construct Polars temporal, duration, decimal, fixed-array, struct, float16, i128, or u128 columns, and does not need Polars formatting/default bundles.
This keeps existing public data support intact while avoiding unrelated Polars code. The Python crate's separate pyo3-polars dtype requirements are unchanged.
Companion downstream cleanups are COMBINE-lab/grangers#54 and COMBINE-lab/af-anndata#3; the aggregate measurements come from their simpleaf consumer.
Validation
This is intentionally independent of the open Polars 0.55 update and can be rebased onto it if that lands first.
