[Data] Normalize block types before internal multi-block operations #43764

Why are these changes needed?

Applying grouping operations on Datasets with different underlying Block types can cause exceptions (e.g. various AttributeErrors) due to BlockAccessors assuming that all input block types are of the same type.

We handle this case by normalizing the blocks (either ArrowBlock or PandasBlock) to the first block type before applying the rest of the grouping/aggregation logic.

can we call normalize_block_types instead to keep code to be consistent?

self_default, other_default = self.to_default(), acc.to_default()
return BlockAccessor.for_block(self_default).zip(other_default)

In whic case, this ValueError will be triggered?

for Blocks which do not extend TableBlock class, i think this will be the case. since both ArrowBlock and PandasBlock are TableBlocks themselves, this isn't an issue for these classes, but this would cover any case in which we have other types of Blocks in the future. i can also remove this if we think it's not useful

Got it, it's fine to keep it.

better to throw an actionable error message instead of assert

@c21 do we still use non-table blocks anywhere?

Actually I don't think we use non-table blocks anywhere.

results = [BlockAccessor.for_block(block).to_default() for block in blocks]

Should we move this to a different test module? I don't think zip is an all-to-all operation?
