Add Parquet reader edge case coverage

[vyasr]

Description

Adds focused Parquet reader coverage for edge cases that are important for page-level decode
correctness:

• page-boundary row bounds for required structs and nullable nested columns;
• BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT coverage for required flat columns and nested/list leaves;
• dictionary and BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT encoding verification for nested columns;
• nullable list pages containing no leaf values;
• nullable flat and delta-encoding Parquet reader benchmarks with explicit page-size boundaries.

Checklist

• I am familiar with the Contributing Guidelines.
• New or existing tests cover these changes.
• The documentation is up to date with these changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved Parquet reading for nullable data, nested structures, lists, and page-boundary reads.
  • Improved handling of all-null list pages and bounded table reads.
  • Added support for binary, dictionary, and byte-stream-split encoded pages.

• Performance

  • Expanded Parquet benchmarks across nullable data, varied page sizes, null rates, and encoding types.

Walkthrough

The changes add nullable Parquet page-size benchmarks and regression tests for bounded reads across nested structures, page boundaries, required and nullable leaves, multiple encodings, and all-null list pages.

Changes

Parquet reader coverage

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Nullable encoding benchmark matrices cpp/benchmarks/io/parquet/parquet_reader_encoding.cpp	bench_read_encoding supports nullable validity profiles and maximum page-row limits. Binary and string benchmarks cover nullable probabilities and page sizes around 32 and 256 rows.
Flat nullable page benchmark cpp/benchmarks/io/parquet/parquet_reader_input.cpp	Adds an INT32 benchmark for no-null, 1% null, and 50% null pages across boundary-focused page sizes.
Required page and encoding tests cpp/tests/io/parquet_reader_test.cpp	Adds tests for required struct leaves and required FLOAT BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT pages, including metadata checks and bounded reads across page boundaries.
Nullable nested and bounded reader tests cpp/tests/io/parquet_reader_test.cpp	Adds tests for nullable structures, dictionary and BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT encodings, nested lists, page-boundary reads, and all-null list pages.
