[SPARK-58395][ML][CONNECT] Include LDA metadata in size estimates

[zhengruifeng]

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Adds parameter metadata to DistributedLDAModel.estimatedSize while retaining its existing Arrow-data estimates for the serialized LDA internals. Adds a specialized LocalLDAModel.estimatedSize that charges its learned topic matrix and document-concentration vector without traversing its Spark session.

LDAParams.supportedOptimizers remains an Array[String] field for ABI compatibility. It directly references an equivalent companion-owned array, which the optimizer validator uses so its closure does not retain an LDA model. Adds regression coverage for both model types.

Why are the changes needed?

The distributed-model estimate omitted parameter metadata. Local LDA relied on the generic object-graph walk, which can include its direct SparkSession reference.

Restoring the instance supportedOptimizers field for ABI compatibility would cause the validator lambda to capture the model if it referenced that field. SizeEstimator then follows the closure into unrelated Spark-session state and significantly overestimates the model size. Using the companion-owned array preserves the field while avoiding that capture.

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

No.

How was this patch tested?

Added LocalLDAModel estimated size and DistributedLDAModel estimated size coverage in LDASuite. The suite was not run locally.

The change to estimateMatadataSize is a global reduction of the size reported by every Params-implementing model in the system. It breaks two pre-existing Connect tests that have calibrated thresholds against the old estimates: MLSuite.MLCache offloading works (expects 6 cached models, gets 5) and MLSuite.Model size limit (expects MLModelSizeOverflowException at a 4000-byte cap that is no longer reached). Both failures are confirmed in the PR's CI run (annotation messages on check-run 90233623207 show changed model size = 2209 bytes, well below the 4000-byte limit). The PR author notes the suite was not run locally. Adding a dedicated LocalLDAModel.estimatedSize override that bypasses the generic object-graph walk (as this PR already does) is sufficient on its own; the estimateMatadataSize change should either be reverted or the two MLSuite tests must be updated with the rationale for the deliberately lowered estimates documented.
