P1 Badge Document stricter Avro schema validation

With this version upgrade, schemas previously accepted by Vector but invalid under the Avro specification are rejected while building an Avro encoder or decoder, so affected configurations will fail to start after upgrading Vector. Because the change is user-observable and requires users to rewrite schemas such as the formerly accepted field-level array/map declarations, it needs a breaking changelog fragment rather than the proposed no-changelog treatment.

@omwbennett can you provide an example here? Trying to understand how big of a breaking change this is.

I think I linked an old issue in the PR description, I've updated to link to the correct github issue + PR.

The core problem seems to be that avro-rs previously allowed defining complex types (e.g. array, enum etc.) directly in a field definition, when they should be inside a type block.
For example this was previously accepted by avro-rs:

{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "Test",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "enum_field", "type": "enum", "symbols": ["Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs"]},
    {"name": "array_field", "type": "array", "items": "string"},
    {"name": "map_field", "type": "map", "values": "string"},
    {"name": "fixed_field", "type": "fixed", "size": 16}
  ]
}

but must now be:

{
  "type": "record",
  "name": "Test",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "enum_field", "type": {"type": "enum", "name": "Suit", "symbols": ["Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs"]}},
    {"name": "array_field", "type": {"type": "array", "items": "string"}},
    {"name": "map_field", "type": {"type": "map", "values": "string"}},
    {"name": "fixed_field", "type": {"type": "fixed", "name": "FixedField", "size": 16}}
  ]
}

This brings it in line with the Python/Java SDKs, so it seems unlikely that users would be using these invalid schemas but I suppose it's still possible.

parquet = { version = "59.1.0", default-features = false, features = [
"arrow",
