Datatype deduplication 1: remove polars (#4880)

All the grunt work left to get rid of polars.

- Remove all helpers and APIs built specifically for polars'
`DataFrame`.
- Refactor tests that rely on dataframe joins to not require join
semantics in the first place (`re_data_store` has no knowledge of those
anyway).
- The one test that does require join semantics has moved over to
`re_query`, where join semantics belong.
- All `polars-*` dep have been removed.

Don't look at the commit log as it makes no sense: i changed strategies
a bunch of times on the way.
