Description
One of the missing v2 features in PyIceberg is reading from equality delete files.
I believe PyIceberg needs support for reading these files or else we run into situations where people are querying deleted data. Happy to be disproven on this!

Research direction
Start by locating PyIceberg's existing v2 delete-file reading and table scan entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how equality delete files should affect query results, then add coverage demonstrating that rows matching equality deletes are no longer returned.
