We should use a visitor to handle nested fields.

### Willingness to contribute

I can work on this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing ArrowReader and the proposed apply_name_mapping_to_arrow_schema change from #1821. Trace how schema fields are currently mapped, especially nested fields, and identify the visitor entry point. Done means name mapping is handled consistently for nested types as well as top-level fields.
