Extend the List of Stat Types to be Covered by the ParquetStatsConverterUtil class

[sapienza88]

Feature Request / Improvement

Converting a Parquet Binary type stat to a corresponding type in either Delta/Iceberg/Hudi format causes Exceptions to raise.

In order to make the table formats unaware of the all stat conversions from the Parquet format and to properly handle the conversion within the Parquet side, Binary (aka BYTE_ARRAY) logical types (e.g., ENUM, JSON, BSON) have to be treated on a per-case basis . We have to add tests for these types and as needed extend the cases in xtable-core/src/main/java/org/apache/xtable/parquet/ParquetStatsConverterUtil.java to include a more comprehensive list of Binary or other types.
