Description
Issue
Since the change to dask-expr as a backend for DataFrames aggregation methods (like dissolve) raise an uninformative attribute error. The methods are still avaliable using a legacy dataframe (accessed through dask_df.to_legacy_dataframe()) so the error messaging could be updated to reflect this. Also, dask-expr documentation mentions that these methods are not supported, however I couldn't find any reference to the change in the dask-geopandas documentation.
Example
import geopandas as gpd
import dask_geopandas as dgpd
path_to_gdf = ...
gdf = gpd.read_file(path_to_gdf)
dask_gdf = dgpd.from_geopandas(gdf, npartitions=20)
dissolved = dask_gdf.dissolve()
Output
AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'dissolve'
