Description
The current implementation of `NestedFrame.__setitem__` flattens and packs the data back and forth. However there is a cheaper way of do the same job with `NestedAccessor.with_field`

Research direction
Start at NestedFrame.__setitem__ and inspect how its current implementation flattens and repacks data. Compare that path with NestedAccessor.with_field, then verify that using the accessor preserves the existing assignment behavior while avoiding the extra transformations.
