153821: sql/importer: add hint to vector index IMPORT INTO error r=mw5h a=mw5h

Previously, the error message for attempting IMPORT INTO on tables with vector indexes only stated that the operation is not supported. This change adds a helpful hint suggesting users drop the vector index before importing and recreate it afterwards.

The hint provides a clear workaround for users encountering this limitation, improving the user experience when working with vector indexes and bulk imports.

Release Notes: None
