* Fix: Import numpy before pyarrow in tests to resolve import warning

A `PytestDeprecationWarning` was occurring in several test files
because `pyarrow`, when imported by `pytest.importorskip`, would fail
to import `numpy.core.multiarray`.

This change addresses the warning by explicitly importing `numpy`
before `pytest.importorskip("pyarrow", ...)` in the affected
test files. This ensures that numpy is fully initialized before
pyarrow attempts to use it, resolving the underlying import error.

I also updated the test execution to use `nox -s unit`, which
correctly sets up the test environment and dependencies, allowing
the tests to pass and confirm the warning is resolved. Pre-existing
failures in `tests/unit/test_magics.py` are unrelated to this change.

* Update tests/unit/test__pyarrow_helpers.py

* revisions to numpy handling

* adds import or skip commands to accompany pyarrow import or skips

* Update tests/unit/test__pandas_helpers.py

* updates an import step and restores gc import

* Updates magics.context and removes unneeded? reference to numpy/pyarrow

…ecate kokoro presubmit (#2194)

* I've created a new workflow for the docs and docsfx nox sessions.

This involves a new GitHub workflow located in `.github/workflows/docs.yml`. This new workflow will now handle running the `docs` and `docsfx` nox sessions, which were previously managed by the `.kokoro/presubmit/presubmit.cfg` workflow.

Here's how the new workflow operates:
- It activates when you make pull requests to the `main` branch.
- It executes two jobs: `docs` and `docsfx`.
- Both of these jobs utilize Python 3.10.
- Each job installs nox and then runs its corresponding nox session (`docs-3.10` or `docsfx-3.10`).

This adjustment is a step towards phasing out and removing the `.kokoro/presubmit/presubmit.cfg` file.

* The message is a commit message, not a message to a user from an AI agent. Therefore, it should be output as is.

Output:
Remove Kokoro presubmit for unit, docs, and coverage.

This commit removes the Kokoro presubmit configuration that runs
`unit_noextras`, `unit`, `cover`, `docs`, and `docfx` nox sessions.
These checks are already performed by GitHub Actions, making the
Kokoro configuration redundant.

The change involves removing the `NOX_SESSION` environment variable
definition from `.kokoro/presubmit/presubmit.cfg`.

* Update presubmit.cfg

* Delete .kokoro/presubmit/presubmit.cfg

* Configure Renovate to keep Python at 3.10 for docs workflow

This change adds a packageRule to `renovate.json` to prevent Renovate
from updating the Python version used in the `.github/workflows/docs.yml`
GitHub Actions workflow.

The rule specifically targets the `python-version` input of the
`actions/setup-python` step and restricts allowed versions to `<3.11`,
effectively pinning it to `3.10` for now.

* feat: job creation mode GA

This PR makes the underlying functionality related to how queries can
optionally avoid job creation a GA feature.  It does the following:

* no longer uses the preview QUERY_PREVIEW_ENABLED environment variable
  to control job creation
* adds a new argument to Client instantiation to control job creation
  mode
* adds a property/setter to Client to control job creation mode

This PR also updates/renames the sample demonstrating how to leverage
job creation mode with Client.query_and_wait.
