Cast nested List to LargeList #8305

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

datafusion cannot cast nested List to LargeList, like List(List(Int64)) to LargeList(LargeList(Int64)).

select arrow_cast(make_array(make_array(1, 2, 3), make_array(4, 5, 6)), 'LargeList(LargeList(Int64))');

Error during planning: Cannot automatically convert List(Field { name: "item", data_type: List(Field { name: "item", data_type: Int64, nullable: true, dict_id: 0, dict_is_ordered: false, metadata: {} }), nullable: true, dict_id: 0, dict_is_ordered: false, metadata: {} }) to LargeList(Field { name: "item", data_type: LargeList(Field { name: "item", data_type: Int64, nullable: true, dict_id: 0, dict_is_ordered: false, metadata: {} }), nullable: true, dict_id: 0, dict_is_ordered: false, metadata: {} })

Describe the solution you'd like

https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/master/arrow-cast/src/cast.rs#L133-L135

        (List(list_from), LargeList(list_to)) => {
            list_from.data_type() == list_to.data_type()
        }
