This PR is created based on the two PRs:

1. feat(metadata): Improve Logical Type Handling on Col Stats #13711
2. fix(ingest): Repair affected logical timestamp milli tables #14161

The following description is from #14161, which summarized the issue.

This pr #9743 adds more schema evolution functionality and schema processing. However, we used the InternalSchema system to do various operations such as fix null ordering, reorder, and add columns. At the time, InternalSchema only had a single Timestamp type. When converting back to avro, this was assumed to be micros. Therefore, if the schema provider had any millis columns, the processed schema would end up with those columns as micros.

In this pr to update column stats with better support for logical types: #13711, the schema issues were fixed, as well as additional issues with handling and conversion of timestamps during ingestion.

this pr aims to add functionality to spark and hive readers and writers to automatically repair affected tables.
After switching to use the 1.1 binary, the affected columns will undergo evolution from timestamp-micros to timestamp-mills. Normally a lossy evolution that is not supported, this evolution is ok because the data is actually still timestamp-millis it is just mislabeled as micros in the parquet and table schemas

Impact

When reading from a hudi table using spark or hive reader if the table schema has a column as millis, but the data schema is micros, we will assume that this column is affected and read it as a millis value instead of a micros value. This correction is also applied to all readers that the default write paths use. As a table is rewritten the parquet files will be correct. A table's latest snapshot can be immediately fixed by writing one commit with the 1.1 binary, and then clustering the entire table.
