bump datafusion from 43 to 49

[dariocurr]

Hi, I:

• updated datafusion from 43 to 49
• added the dependabot configuration
• updated pre-commit configuration
• simplified & updated the Cargo.toml
• simplified the use statements

In order to support coercion in signatures, I'm waiting for Numeric to be implemented

@dmitriibugakov are you still interested in maintaining this crate?

If not, are you open to others helping out?

[dariocurr]

meanwhile, I'm going publish this on my own to use it

Hi @dariocurr -- I invited you as a committer to this repo. Hopefully that means you can run the tests and help review / merge other PRs

It's an honor, thank you!
Who should I list as the reviewer in this PR?

Anyone you can get the attention of (maybe ask on DataFusion discord?)

Or if you are the only one actively maintaining it, I think you could also just merge it in as well

I'll try to get attention on discord since "At least 1 approving review is required by reviewers with write access"

@dariocurr I updated the branch protection rules and you should now be able to merge this PR

Sorry about that -- I just updated your permissions for this repo to admin -- you should now be able to do whatever is needed
