fix: improve errors on field cast failures

[jkylling]

Description

Adds information on the field, to-type and from-type when casting fails.

We could consider using our own error type for the casting errors to allow unrolling errors to get the full path to a field. Currently we only give the last part of the path.

When looking at cast_field I noticed that we might be missing a match on (DataType::List(_), DataType::LargeList(_)). Casting List to LargeList can currently cause some tricky behaviour. I had a record batch with a List type, and tried reading it with a LargeList schema. For some choices of schemas it failed with an error message, for other schemas is did not fail, but read the columns in the wrong order.

@jkylling can you fix the tests please

Fixed the first expected error message in the failing test, but I suspect the next assertion will also fail. Unfortunately I'm unable to run the python tests locally. make develop within the venv fails with:
