docs: clarify read consistency behavior for db:// remote tables

[mintlify]

Summary

Update the consistency guide so its description of read-your-write behavior matches what the client actually does on db:// remote-table connections.

Changes

• Note that read_consistency_interval applies to all db:// remote-table connections.
• Replace the version-pinning description with the timestamp-floor model that is now used for read-your-write across writes, checkout_latest, and restore.
• Mention that the freshness floor is shared across handles to the same table on the same connection.

Context

Triggered by an upstream change that brings read-freshness signaling to the lance-namespace path of db:// connections, so the client behavior described in the docs now holds uniformly for remote tables.
