> StructTypes can be created with types:
> {code:R}
> struct(x = int32(), y = utf8())
> {code}
> But they cannot be created with fields yet. This means you cannot construct a StructType with a non-nullable field (since fields are nullable by default.) We should support constructing a StructType with fields, like we do for a Schema:
> {code:R}
> # Schema from fields
> schema(field("x", int32()), field(y, utf8(), nullable=FALSE))
> # Expected StructType from fields
> struct(field("x", int32()), field(y, utf8(), nullable=FALSE))
> {code}
