Description
### What happens?
Whenever .cursor is called the description says `Create a duplicate of the current connection` however it actually losses the relevant schema information and instead switches to main
### To Reproduce
```python3
con = duckdb.connect()
con.execute("CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS other_schema")
con.execute("USE other_schema")
print(con.cursor().execute("SELECT current_schema()").fetchone())
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the reported Python reproduction against the DuckDB Python package and inspect the implementation and tests for connection.cursor(). Trace how the active schema is handled when the cursor is created; done means con.cursor().execute("SELECT current_schema()").fetchone() still reports other_schema rather than main.
