The tensor extension import is a bit expensive since it will go through Arrow's and Pandas' extension type registration logic. This PR delays the tensor extension type import until Parquet reading, which is the only case in which we need to explicitly register the type.
I have confirmed that the Parquet reading in doc/source/data/doc_code/tensor.py passes with this change.
Why are these changes needed?
Editing pass over the tensor support docs for clarity:
Make heavy use of tabbed guides to condense the content
Rewrite examples to be more organized around creating vs reading tensors
Use doc_code for testing
