feat(python): support dict to SQL struct conversion in table.update() (#3089)

## Summary

- Add `@value_to_sql.register(dict)` handler that converts Python dicts
to DataFusion's `named_struct()` SQL syntax
- Enables updating struct-typed columns via `table.update(values={"col":
{"field_a": 1, "field_b": "hello"}})`
- Recursively handles nested structs, lists, nulls, and all existing
scalar types

Closes #1363

## Details

The `named_struct` function was introduced in DataFusion 38 and is now
available (LanceDB uses DataFusion 52.1). The implementation follows the
existing `singledispatch` pattern in `util.py`.

**Example conversion:**
```python
value_to_sql({"field_a": 1, "field_b": "hello"})
# => "named_struct('field_a', 1, 'field_b', 'hello')"
```

## Test plan

- [x] Unit tests for flat struct, nested struct, list inside struct,
mixed types, null values, and empty dict
- [ ] CI integration tests with actual table.update() on struct columns
