Review comment:
       You should be able to use the expected/projection schema. All readers 
should reorder columns to produce the requested column order.
   
   `AvroSchemaWithTypeVisitor` is used to traverse the file schema to create 
the reader structure, but that's because fields in Avro must be read in the 
file's order. But when that reader adds data columns to records, the values are 
put in the correct order because the [`ResolvingDecoder` returns the correct 
position](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/avro/ValueReaders.java#L645-L648)
 in the projection schema.
