### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. The class `VariantBuilder` checks not only the precision of the related value but the scale as well to decide on the representation type ([DECIMAL4](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/apache-parquet-1.16.0/parquet-variant/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/variant/VariantBuilder.java#L230) or [DECIMAL8](https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/blob/apache-parquet-1.16.0/parquet-variant/src/main/java/org/apache/parquet/variant/VariantBuilder.java#L237)). This is not correct (according to the [specification](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/apache-parquet-format-2.12.0/VariantEncoding.md#encoding-types)) since any variant decimal type can have the same range of `[0, 38]` scale. ### Component(s) _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
