Review Comment:
I also think that if we want to have an additional method to avoid confusion
(i.e. "I don't want to `fromPrimitiveString` that because I need support for
variant") then we can add a synonym. In that case, I think there's probably a
better name, like `fromString`. That's not great because it implies that it
would support structs, maps, and lists, but so does `typeFromTypeString` so
it's at least more direct. Unfortunately, we don't have a word in Iceberg that
means a type that is expressed in a single string (vs a JSON-defined type).
