adenzhou1350 9f4cd1618b fix(python): handle empty batch iterables with a schema (#4538)
## Summary

`create_table(data=iter(()), schema=...)` currently raises
`RuntimeError: coroutine raised StopIteration`, although an empty list
with the same schema works. A tuple of batches also fails because the
helper calls `next()` before obtaining an iterator.

Normalize the iterable once and use the supplied schema for an empty
reader. Without a schema, raise a clear `ValueError`. Nonempty schema
inference and batch casting are unchanged.

Tests cover synchronous/asynchronous creation, empty/nonempty iterators
and tuples, and schema-aware `add()` sanitization. The default
schema-less `add()` rejection is deliberately unchanged.

## Validation

- Built the current Rust/PyO3 extension from base `9f37f392` with the
repository's `ci` profile; both Python-only arms use the same verified
extension and locked Python dependency versions.
- Complete `python/tests/test_table.py` +
`python/tests/test_scannable.py`: **268 passed, 0 skipped**. The
unchanged production code with identical tests has **24 failures / 244
passes**.
- Both arms used four-CPU affinity. An initial unrestricted-affinity run
exhausted thread creation under the private memory limit; that failed
attempt is not counted as a pass.
- Package-wide Ruff check/format pass. Repository-wide checks still
report pre-existing findings in unchanged `docs/web-tests`; those files
are not modified here.

AI-assisted change, reproduced against unchanged production code and
validated with a native source build. This does not claim the full
repository/platform matrix or a performance improvement.
