Remove vortex-vector

[connortsui20]

😢

We need to remove this now because we want to merge vortex-dtype into vortex-array, and if this still existed it would create a dependency cycle.

vortex-array --(depends on)--> vortex-vector --(depends on)--> vortex-dtype

vortex-array <--(depends on)--> vortex-dtype

😭

I should point out that I still think it is worth keeping this in our back pocket in case we want to replace our builders with these vectors.

With vortex-scalar being merged into vortex-array soon as well, we could actually have the completely type safe builders from vectors here!
