[PR] docs: start Spark 4.1 known-limitations section, seeded with #4199 [datafusion-comet]
andygrove opened a new pull request, #4202:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/pull/4202
## Which issue does this PR close?
Starts a Spark 4.1 Known Limitations section so operator-facing compatibility issues on the experimental 4.1 profile have a home. First entry seeds it with #4199.
## Rationale for this change
Spark 4.1 support is experimental and we're discovering a handful of limitations as we work through the 4.1 CI failures. Some of them are real user-visible gaps (not just test-side plumbing) and deserve a visible entry in the compatibility guide so users who hit them can self-diagnose.
## What changes are included in this PR?
- \`docs/source/user-guide/latest/compatibility/spark-versions.md\`: add a "Known Limitations" section under Spark 4.1, mirroring the existing section under Spark 4.0, and seed it with the \`NullType\` Parquet issue (#4199). The entry describes the on-disk encoding mismatch (\`BOOLEAN + LogicalType::Unknown\` vs parquet-rs requiring \`INT32 + Unknown\`), the exact error users will see, and concrete workarounds.
Additional 4.1 limitations will be appended to the section as they are characterised.
## How are these changes tested?
