Review Comment:
   Should we implement a trait `ReadOptions`?
   ```rust
   trait ReadOptions {
       fn to_listing_options(&self, target_partitions: usize) -> ListingOptions;
       fn get_resolved_schema(&self) -> Result<SchemaRef>;
   }
   ```
   `CsvReadOptions` and other will implement this trait. This way, we can avoid 
repeating this code for other methods.
