URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8841
**Describe the bug**
<!--
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
-->
When casting a dictionary with string value to binary view, run into an
unexpected error.
**To Reproduce**
<!--
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
-->
This test should pass:
```rust
// arrow-cast/src/cast/mod.rs
#[test]
fn test_string_dict_to_binary_view() {
let values = StringArray::from_iter(VIEW_TEST_DATA);
let keys = Int8Array::from_iter([Some(1), Some(0), None, Some(3),
None, Some(1), Some(4)]);
let string_dict_array =
DictionaryArray::<Int8Type>::try_new(keys,
Arc::new(values)).unwrap();
let casted = cast(&string_dict_array,
&DataType::BinaryView).unwrap();
assert_eq!(casted.data_type(), &DataType::BinaryView);
}
```
Currently failing:
```sh
thread 'cast::tests::test_string_dict_to_binary_view' (4994586) panicked at
arrow-cast/src/cast/mod.rs:6651:70:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: ComputeError("Internal Error:
Cannot cast BinaryView to BinaryArray of expected type")
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
test cast::tests::test_string_dict_to_binary_view ... FAILED
```
**Expected behavior**
<!--
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
-->
Should successfully cast to a binary view.
**Additional context**
<!--
Add any other context about the problem here.

- It's likely the same will happen for vice-versa situation, i.e. binary
dictionary to string view (see above arm)
