    docs: fix the Substrait round-trip instructions in the sqllogictest README 
(#24855)
    
    ## Which issue does this PR close?
    
    None — the documented command does not run and the paragraph around it
    is out of date, so this is a straight documentation fix.
    
    ## Rationale for this change
    
    The sqllogictest README documents the Substrait round-trip mode as
    
    ```shell
    cargo test --test sqllogictests -- --substrait-round-trip
    ```
    
    but the round-trip path is behind the `substrait` feature, which is not
    in `default`. Run as documented, every file fails with `Cannot run
    substrait round-trip: the 'substrait' feature is not enabled` — 505 of
    them on today's `main`, which reads as the mode being thoroughly broken
    rather than as a missing flag. The `xtask` step that CI uses gets this
    right (`--features substrait`); only the README does not.
    
    The same paragraph says the mode "is not enforced in the CI, instead, it
    needs to be run manually". It is enforced, over one file: `rust.yml`
    runs `cargo xtask ci step test substrait`, which filters to `limit.slt`,
    with a comment saying the filter stays until most of #16248 is
    addressed. So a reader is told the mode has no CI coverage when it has a
    smoke test.
    
    It also points at #16248 for the failures. That epic now has 16 of its
    21 sub-issues closed, and several of the classes the mode reports most
    often today — `Analyze`, `Unnest`, `USING` join constraints,
    `Distinct::On` — have no sub-issue under it, so the sentence promises
    more than the link delivers.
    
    ## What changes are included in this PR?
    
    Both documented commands get `--features substrait`. The warning now
    says where the mode lives, that CI runs it over `limit.slt` through the
    `xtask` step, and that #16248 collects some of the failures rather than
    all of them.
    
    ## What is the testing strategy for this PR?
    
    Ran both documented forms on `main`: the full form runs the whole suite
    and reports its failures instead of stopping on the feature error, and
    the `binary.slt` filter runs three files. Ran `cargo xtask ci step test
    substrait` to confirm the CI step passes over `limit.slt` (it needs the
    `testing` submodule; without it the file fails on missing
    `aggregate_test_100` data). `ci/scripts/doc_prettier_check.sh` passes.
    
    ## Are there any user-facing changes?
    
    Documentation only.

 ## Running tests: Substrait round-trip mode

+This mode runs the selected `.slt` test files in validation mode, adding a 
Substrait conversion round-trip for each
 generated DataFusion logical plan (SQL statement → DF logical → Substrait → DF 
logical → DF physical → execute).
 
 Not all statements will be round-tripped, some statements like CREATE, INSERT, 
SET or EXPLAIN statements will be
 issued as is, but any other statement will be round-tripped to/from Substrait.

To run the default suite in this mode:
 
 ```shell

+cargo test --test sqllogictests --features substrait -- --substrait-round-trip
 ```
 
 For focusing on one specific failing test, a file:line filter can be used:
 
 ```shell
-cargo test --test sqllogictests -- --substrait-round-trip binary.slt:23
+cargo test --test sqllogictests --features substrait -- --substrait-round-trip 
binary.slt:23
 ```
