feat: add ASOF joins to DataFrame API

[Xuanwo]

Which issue does this PR close?

• Part of ASOF join support / Specialize Range Joins #318.
• Umbrella PR: feat: support ASOF joins #23738.
• Depends on feat: add ASOF join logical semantics #23829 (and transitively feat: add ASOF join physical operator #23828, which is merged).

Rationale for this change

This is the DataFrame API layer of the ASOF JOIN stack. It exposes the logical
contract through the fluent API without coupling that API review to SQL parsing
or protobuf changes.

GitHub shows the cumulative stack because fork branches cannot be selected as
upstream PR bases. The isolated diff for this layer is:
Xuanwo/datafusion@xuanwo/asof-logical...xuanwo/asof-dataframe

What changes are included in this PR?

• Add DataFrame::join_asof for expression-based equality keys.
• Add DataFrame::join_asof_using for same-named equality keys.
• Export AsOfMatch and Operator from the DataFusion prelude.
• Add a DataFrame-only execution test that exercises the broadcast physical
  operator without depending on SQL syntax.

Are these changes tested?

Yes:

• cargo fmt --all
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
• cargo test -p datafusion --test core_integration dataframe::join_asof --all-features
• The extended workspace test command from the contributor guide

Are there any user-facing changes?

Users can build ASOF joins through DataFrame::join_asof and
DataFrame::join_asof_using. The USING form follows DataFusion's existing
name-resolution contract: wildcard output exposes one unqualified key while
both qualified input keys remain addressable.

This PR should be reviewed and merged after #23829. It does not depend on the
optional floating-point follow-up #24375.
