Description
### Describe the bug
```
-- works
SELECT CAST('hello' AS BYTEA) LIKE 'hello%';
-- fails ("Cannot infer common argument type for regex operation Binary ~ Utf8")
SELECT CAST('hello' AS BYTEA) SIMILAR TO 'hello%';
-- works
SELECT arrow_cast('hello', 'Dictionary(Int32, Utf8)') LIKE 'hello%';
-- fails ("Data type Dictionary(Int32, Utf8) not supported for regex_match_dyn")
SELECT arrow_cast('hello', 'Dictionary(Int32, Utf8)') SIMILAR TO 'hello%';
```
I believe we'd want the same behavior for LIKE and IS SIMILAR TO. Per discussion in #20306
