Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently, the catch-all decoder in Parquet reader is being used to decode the `binary decimal`s, which are not handled by one of our main decoder. Therefore, we should handle `binary decimal`s in our main decoder(s) so that we can move one step closer to purging the catch-all decoder from the codebase.
Related to #18347
**Describe the solution you'd like**
`binary decimal` types being decoded in our main plain decoder instead of in the backup catch-all decoder.
