Should _check_schema_compatible return a bool to indicate if the cast is needed? I'm not sure how costly the cast is. If we go from string to large_string then we might rewrite the Arrow buffers.

yea, I like that idea.
_check_schema_compatible returns a boolean should_cast.
- If schema is exactly the same, return
Falseand skip cast - If schema is "compatible", return
Trueand cast - If schema is not "compatible", throws an error

It was too complicated when _check_schema_compatible returned a boolean and threw an error.
I ended up doing an extra comparison as Arrow schemas outside and cast only if necessary

nit: It would be good to call as_arrow() just once in case we need to cast.

This PR resolves #520 by casting the incoming pyarrow
Tableto the same Schema as the Iceberg Table. This is safe since we first check for schema compatibility._check_schema->_check_schema_compatible.Schema.as_arrow().
