Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

From https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/44652#discussion_r1835693557. Catch errors like "no kernel matching input types" and provide hints on things like dictionary type in Arrow is like factor in R, to help users interpret what failed.

Maybe this can be done in `try_arrow_dplyr()` or similar, and/or maybe we want helpers like in util.R.
