Description
### What happens?
The DuckDB Spark API is incompatible with the PySpark API's `spark.createDataFrame(list of dict)` method.
### To Reproduce
```python
from duckdb.experimental.spark.sql import SparkSession as DuckdbSparkSession
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
sql_text = "SELECT * FROM t0"
data = [
{"c0": "1969-12-21"}
]
spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
df = spark.createDataFrame(data)
df.createOrReplaceTempView("t0")
print("PySpark SQL result:")
pyspark_result = spark.sql(sql_text)
pyspark_result.show()
duckdb_spark = DuckdbSparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
df = duckdb_spark.createDataFrame(data)
df.createOrReplaceTempView("t0")
print("Duckdb Spark SQL result: ")
duckdb_spark_result = duckdb_spark.sql(sql_text)
duckdb_spark_result.show()
```
```bash
PySpark SQL result:
+----------+
| c0|
+----------+
|1969-12-21|
+----------+
Duckdb Spark SQL result:
┌─────────┐
│ col0 │
│ varchar │
├─────────┤
│ c0 │
└─────────┘
```
