CC @shubham-tomar this fixes the issue you brought up to me on the iceberg-go slack. After this is merged, I'll update the dependency in iceberg-go.

Rationale for this change
An issue was found in apache/iceberg-go when attempting to retrieve data from a table containing a List Column that had a struct as the element. It was failing to propagate the element-id for the fields when fetching. I tracked it down to the schema handling here.
What changes are included in this PR?
Changes the
getNestedFactorymethod in pqarrow/schema.go to useListOfFieldinstead ofListOfso that it preserves the metadata, i.e. the field id.Are these changes tested?
Yes, a test has been added to cover this scenario.
Are there any user-facing changes?
Previously this situation would result in a field-id of -1, now users will see the field-id get propagated correctly.
