   The other thing that follows from this is extending `ParquetFieldType` enum 
with `Virtual(VirtualColumnType)`. This is necessary to be able to extend 
`fields: Option<Arc<ParquetField>>` in `ParquetRecordBatchReaderBuilder`, and 
then it can be used in the `array_builder` to actually construct array readers 
for virtual columns. `VirtualColumnType` can indicate a type of virtual column, 
e.g. `RowNumber` for this GH issue, or `RowGroupId` for another type of virtual 
column.
   
   You can also notice I have a namign preference for `virtual` instead of 
`metadata`, curious about others' preference.
