Sub-PR 3 of 5 from #329. Stacks on #330 (meta field) and #331 (builder).

Two changes:

  1. LeannCLI._make_incremental_builder now reads the existing index's passage_id_scheme from meta.json and uses that, ignoring any conflicting --id-scheme on the args (with a note printed). Otherwise an update command on a content-hash index would mix sequential IDs into a hash-keyed passages.jsonl and break lookups.
  2. LeannSearcher exposes self.passage_id_scheme so consumers can introspect; defaults to "sequential" for older indexes that don't record it (pre-[content-hash 1/5] refactor: record passage_id_scheme in meta.json #330).

No behavior change for fresh builds — the CLI's --id-scheme still controls which scheme a brand-new index gets.

Content-hash passage IDs train (#329)

Sub-PR 1 of 5 from the plan in yichuan-w#329. Purely additive — no behavior change
for any caller, existing index loaders ignore the field.

Writes a new `passage_id_scheme: "sequential"` field into the .meta.json
produced by both build_index and build_index_from_arrays. Bumps version
to "1.1" for human-inspectable schema tracking (no code reads version today,
so the bump is safe).

Module-level constants PASSAGE_ID_SCHEME_SEQUENTIAL / _CONTENT_HASH document
the value space; the content-hash scheme itself ships in sub-PR 2.

Sub-PR 2 of 5 from yichuan-w#329. Builds on yichuan-w#330 (which added the meta.json field).

New behavior:
- `LeannBuilder(..., passage_id_scheme="content-hash")` makes add_text() key
  passages by sha256(text)[:16] instead of insertion index. Stable across file
  moves, reorderings, and re-runs of the same corpus.
- `leann build --id-scheme content-hash` exposes it at the CLI.
- Default unchanged ("sequential"). Existing indexes continue to work
  identically; no migration triggered.

Identical-text chunks collide (same hash). For this sub-PR the second
occurrence overwrites the first in the offset map — that's the dedup
behavior I'd want by default. A `--preserve-duplicates` escape hatch can
land later if needed (see the open question in yichuan-w#329).
