Kaival Parikh a4401c13d8 Allow using custom index readers and writers (#4180)
Summary:
### Description

- Create custom readers and writers for index IO, which take function pointers as input
- Also expose these from the C_API

This is helpful for FFI use, where calling processes would pass upcall stubs for streamlined IO
