Add --use-project-index to targeted and full lint. The default path preserves the existing full context load. With both --use-project-index and --model, SQLMesh uses a persistent model-to-file dependency index to load, resolve, and validate only the selected models and their transitive upstream dependencies. A full indexed lint still loads and lints every model, but creates or refreshes the index for later targeted commands. Missing or expanded dependencies safely retry with a full indexed load.

Description
Follow-on from #5913 - solves #5905
Adds an opt-in --use-project-index flag to sqlmesh render.
When enabled, SQLMesh loads only the target model and its upstream dependencies, reducing unnecessary project loading and snapshot creation. It safely falls back to a full load if the project index is missing or stale.
Includes CLI documentation and tests for scoped loading and fallback behavior.
