Reduces memory consumption when using delta-kernel-rs by converting each batch into a pandas dataframe and concatenating the results together, rather than creating a pyarrow table from all the batches and converting that table with all the results. The pyarrow table usually remains in memory during the conversion to pandas, so it is best to convert smaller batches to pandas rather than the entire table.
Existing tests should be sufficient.
