This PR fixes the Python
View::to_polars
function to work and adds a test.While attempting to implement transitive testing (perspective -> polars -> perspective), I realized Polars stores dictionary columns in the uncommon
LargeUTF8
dictionary format, which caused segfaults in our u32-indexed dictionary reading code. As a result, this PR also adds support for Arrow/PyArrowLargeUTF8
dictionary columns.
