ConvertedType::NA corresponds to an invalid converted type that was once added to the Parquet spec:
apache/parquet-format#45
but then quickly removed in favour of the Null logical type:
apache/parquet-format#51
Unfortunately, Parquet C++ could still in some cases emit the unofficial converted type.
Also remove the confusingly-named LogicalType::Unknown, while "UNKNOWN" in the Thrift specification points to LogicalType::Null.
