Kefu Chai 2fbcbc09b0 api: specialize fmt::formatter<api::table_info>
this is a part of a series to migrating from `operator<<(ostream&, ..)`
based formatting to fmtlib based formatting. the goal here is to enable
fmtlib to print `api::table_info` without the help of `operator<<`.

but the corresponding `operator<<()` is preserved in this change, as we
still have lots of callers relying on this << operator instorage_service.cc
where std::vector<table_info> is formatted using operator<<(ostream&, const Range&)
defined in to_string.hh. we could have used fmt/ranges.h to print the
std::vector<table_info>. but the combination of operator<<(ostream&, const Range&)
and FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM renders this impossible. because
unlike the builtin range formatter specializations, the fallback formatter
synthesized from the operator<< does not have brackets defined for
the range printer. the brackets are used as the left and right marks
of the range, for instance, the array-alike containers are printed
like [1,2,3], while the tuple-alike containers are printed like
(1,2,3). once we are allowed to remove FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM, we
should be able to use the builtin range formatter, and remove the
operator<< for api::table_info by then.
