   ### Description
   
   Given an application that could benefit from using 
PanamaVectorizationProvider, I would like to be able to detect on startup if 
the conditions are adequate (`jdk.incubator.vector` module was added, Java is 
within the right range of versions, etc) so that the application can make a 
decision based on that (i.e. log a warning, or simply preventing to start at 
all if conditions aren't met). 
   Right now, this doesn't seem possible without using some kind of reflection 
and hacks on the VectorizationProvider class, or by duplicating some of the 
initialization code on the application side and keeping it in sync with 
Lucene's.
   
   I was thinking we could have a `public static String 
getImplementationName()` or something that's allowed to be called from outside 
of the specific `VALID_CALLERS`. 
   
   I understand much of the work around the VectorizationProvider was done to 
not expose the internals since they are subject to change quickly and without 
compatibility, but the problem right now is that something such as a java 
version upgrade could cause unintended perf regressions.
