Stack 8 of 10 for Lance generic block sequence compression.
This makes Lance 2.3 variable-width mini-block offsets the first non-sparse adopter of generic block compression. The writer emits the generic representation only when its complete serialized form is strictly smaller; otherwise it keeps the legacy interleaved flat layout. Chunk-local scan, range, and take scheduling remain intact.
Lance 2.0–2.2 writers and readers keep their existing bytes and selection behavior. SparseLayout keeps its existing wire format and explicitly vetoes the generic path.
