Dictionary pruning on files without an offset index or encoding stats

[pmattione-nvidia]

This adds dictionary-page row-group pruning for Parquet files written without an offset index or encoding stats. The chunk's encodings list now stands in for encoding_stats, and without an offset index secondary_filters_byte_ranges returns a dictionary_page_range marked as an upper bound (the end of the chunk). The caller can then cap this bound with dictionary_page_byte_ranges_to_read and then read the data themselves to determine if there is actually a dictionary page there or not.

Those bounded ranges also surface a correctness bug: a chunk that claims dictionary encoding but was written with no dictionary page now begins with a data page, whose still-compressed bytes were decoded as dictionary values past the end of the span. decode_dictionary_page_headers now resets that page and clears the chunk's compressed pointer, size and dictionary page count, so it is simply not pruned with, exactly as an empty span behaves.

139-165: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Trim upper-bound dictionary-page reads before dictionary filtering.

dictionary_page_byte_ranges_to_read() only caps an upper_bound_if_present range. It does not make that range contain exactly one dictionary page. These callers fetch the resulting bytes to the device and pass them directly to filter_row_groups_with_dictionary_pages.

For files without an offset index, the fetched span can include data pages or contain no dictionary page. This violates the filter_row_groups_with_dictionary_pages() contract and can fetch an entire column chunk because every site uses the unlimited default cap. Read upper-bound ranges on the host with a bounded cap, call dictionary_page_length(), then send the exact page bytes to the device or an empty span when no complete dictionary page exists.

Reject a negative max_upper_bound_size.

DictionaryPageRange.byteRangeToRead in the Java binding rejects a negative cap. This function accepts one and forwards it to C++, which then returns a range with a negative size for every upper-bound entry. Add the same guard for parity.

♻️ Proposed guard

+    if max_upper_bound_size is not None and max_upper_bound_size < 0:
+        raise ValueError(
+            "max_upper_bound_size must be >= 0, "

Validate each pageData element before dereference.

A null HostMemoryBuffer causes a NullPointerException here. Reject it with IllegalArgumentException, consistent with the buffer-array validation used by the other public APIs.

Proposed fix

 for (int i = 0; i < pageData.length; i++) {
+  if (pageData[i] == null) {
+    throw new IllegalArgumentException("pageData[" + i + "] must not be null");
+  }
   addrs[i] = pageData[i].getAddress();
   lens[i] = pageData[i].getLength();
 }

filtering: in cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan.hpp lines 279-281,
read each upper-bound range on host, use dictionary_page_length to verify the
dictionary page, and pass only the exact page bytes or an empty span to
filter_row_groups_with_dictionary_pages(). Apply the same conversion in
cpp/tests/streams/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_test.cpp lines 119-121, adding
assertions for upper-bound ranges both with and without a dictionary page.

Apply the same fix in
`@python/pylibcudf/tests/io/test_experimental_hybrid_scan.py` at line 883: The
Python test currently passes the complete upper-bound range instead of verified
dictionary-page bytes.
