Description

Unit test for the following:

DynamicSerDe/normal TProtocol with and without thrift compatibility mode on including basic, map and list types and a list of maps or something like that
DynamicSerDe/TCTLSeparatedProtocol (with thrift mode on even though it's not really thrift compatible) with basic, map and list types.
DynamicSerDe getFields and getFieldsFromExpression

Also improve general debugability of DynamicSerDe by adding toString methods and better handling unknown field names passed in.

NOTE: at this time, not adding unit tests for nested types in dynamic serde even though this is supported. Just not a priority right now.
