## Which issue does this PR close? * Closes #24776. ## Rationale for this change `ColumnRelation` currently round-trips `TableReference` qualifiers through a single dotted string. When a catalog, schema, or table identifier itself contains `.`, the qualifier boundaries are lost during deserialization, causing the reconstructed `TableReference` to differ from the original. For example, a schema named `my.schema` can be incorrectly interpreted as separate qualifier components after a protobuf round-trip. ## What changes are included in this PR? * Add a structured `parts` field to `ColumnRelation`. * Serialize `TableReference` components using `TableReference::to_vec()`. * Prefer the structured `parts` representation when deserializing. * Fall back to the existing `relation` string for legacy protobuf messages. * Add round-trip tests for dotted bare, partial, and full table references. * Add a test covering decoding of legacy relation-only messages. * Regenerate the protobuf bindings. ## What is the testing strategy for this PR? Added regression tests covering the `Column -> protobuf -> TableReference` round-trip for: * Bare table references containing `.` * Partial references with dotted schema identifiers * Full references with dotted schema identifiers * Legacy `relation`-only protobuf messages Also ran: `cargo test -p datafusion-proto-common column_relation -- --nocapture` `cargo test -p datafusion-proto-common` All tests pass. ## Are there any user-facing changes?
