sql: disable vector index backfill in the legacy schema changer

Through an oversight, the legacy schema changer never received a copy of
the vector manager, required for backfilling vector indexes. In
practice, we always use the declarative schema changer for creating
vector indexes, so this wasn't caught in QA. Sentry caught the
oversight.

Completely fixing this problem is more complicated than what we have
time to do in 25.3, so for now the plan is to disable backfilling vector
indices with the legacy schema changer, which should be a corner case to
begin with.

Informs: #149236
Release note (bug fix): Attempting to create a vector index with the
legacy schema changer will now fail gracefully instead of crashing the
node.
