MINOR: [Docs][Python] Document type aliasing in pa.field/pa.schema (#44512) ### Rationale for this change PyArrow supports a set of type aliases, e.g., "string" aliases to pa.string() and these type aliases are triggered in calls to `pa.field` and `pa.schema`. Prior to this change, these weren't documented. Note: I didn't think we wanted to deprecate these but if any reviewers want to discuss that let me know. The R package doesn't support a similar aliasing mechanism. ### What changes are included in this PR? Updates to docs. One regression test. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Better docs. Authored-by: Bryce Mecum <petridish@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bryce Mecum <petridish@gmail.com>
