Review Comment:
   This problem only happens on metadata table, because we use a common 
partition schema for metadata table. For example:
   ```scala
   // create table
   spark.sql("create table local.db.test_table(id long, data struct<id: long>) 
using iceberg partitioned by (identity(id))").show()
   // manifest 0
   spark.range(10).map(i => Item(i, 
Data(i))).writeTo("local.db.test_table").append()
   // update table to add a partiition field on the nested field
   spark.sql("alter table local.db.test_table add partition field 
identity(data.id)").show()
   // manifest 1
   spark.range(10).map(i => Item(i, 
Data(i))).writeTo("local.db.test_table").append()
   spark.sql("select * from local.db.test_table.files").show()
   ```
   The common partition schema is `(Identity(id), Identity(data.id))` when we 
used the common schema projecting on the manifest 0, we could not find the 
field(data.id) from the Avro schema which read from the manifest file. Then we 
need to create a new Avro field from the missing one which is why we reached 
here.
