Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Substrait has [3 different types](https://substrait.io/expressions/scalar_functions/#argument-types) of arguments for functions. One of these types is enumerated arguments, which support a fixed set of declared values as possible inputs.
The [Substrait TPCH plans for queries 7, 8, and 9 ](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/tree/main/datafusion/substrait/tests/testdata/tpch_substrait_plans) cannot be read into DataFusion because they contain functions with enum arguments.
TPHC plan 7 for example contains an invocation of the [extract](https://github.com/substrait-io/substrait/blob/bc4d6fb9bc0435c3db24172566c343e119fc50a9/extensions/functions_datetime.yaml#L107-L113) function, whose first argument is an enum used to indicate what component of the date to extract.
### Describe the solution you'd like
It should be possible to process plans containing Substrait enum arguments.

Research direction
Start with the Substrait argument-types documentation and the linked datetime function definition, then inspect datafusion/substrait/tests/testdata/tpch_substrait_plans for the enum arguments in TPCH plans 7, 8, and 9. Done means DataFusion can read and process plans containing Substrait enum arguments, including the extract example.
