> When reading in a CSV with headers, and also using a schema, we get an error as the code tries to read in the header as a line of data.
> {code:java}
> share_data <- tibble::tibble(
>   company = c("AMZN", "GOOG", "BKNG", "TSLA"),
>   price = c(3463.12, 2884.38, 2300.46, 732.39)
> )
> readr::write_csv(share_data, file = "share_data.csv")
> share_schema <- schema(
>   company = utf8(),
>   price = float64()
> )
> read_csv_arrow("share_data.csv", schema = share_schema)
> {code}
> {code:java}
> Error: Invalid: In CSV column #1: CSV conversion error to double: invalid value 'price'
> /home/nic2/arrow/cpp/src/arrow/csv/converter.cc:492 decoder_.Decode(data, size, quoted, &value)
> /home/nic2/arrow/cpp/src/arrow/csv/parser.h:84 status
> /home/nic2/arrow/cpp/src/arrow/csv/converter.cc:496 parser.VisitColumn(col_index, visit) {code}
> The correct thing here would have been for the user to supply the argument {{skip=1}} to {{read_csv_arrow()}} but this is not immediately obvious from the error message returned from C++.  We should capture the error and instead supply our own error message using {{rlang::abort}} which informs the user of the error and then suggests what they can do to prevent it.
