[Python] the type of ParquetLogicalType not correctly returned for Geometry/Geography #50849
Description
Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
When accessing the .type of the logical type of a Parquet schema for the new Geometry/Geography types, this still returns UNKNOWN instead of the correct type:
>>> meta = pq.read_metadata("./cpp/submodules/parquet-testing/data/geospatial/crs-default.parquet")
>>> meta.schema.column(1)
<ParquetColumnSchema>
name: geometry
path: geometry
max_definition_level: 1
max_repetition_level: 0
physical_type: BYTE_ARRAY
logical_type: Geometry(crs=)
converted_type (legacy): NONE
>>> meta.schema.column(1).logical_type
<pyarrow._parquet.ParquetLogicalType object at 0x7fc53c3f2cd0>
Geometry(crs=)
>>> meta.schema.column(1).logical_type.type
'UNKNOWN'
