This PR addresses an issue in the MySQL implementation within the datafusion-table-providers project. In the MySQL implementation, varchar and json types are mapped to DataFusion's LargeUtf8 type, corresponding to the LargeString data type. In the test code of datafusion-table-providers, the try_cast_to function is used to convert the record batch from a query according to the schema used during table creation. However, the previous version only supported String and could not convert record batches from MySQL where json uses LargeString. This PR adds support for LargeString to enable the conversion of such record batches.
