Issue: [TypeError: Couldn't cast array of type] Cannot load dataset in v1.18

## Describe the bug
I am trying to load the [`GEM/RiSAWOZ` dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/RiSAWOZ) in `datasets` v1.18.1 and am running into a type error when casting the features. The strange thing is that I can load the dataset with v1.17.0. Note that the error is also present if I install from `master` too.

As far as I can tell, the dataset loading script is correct and the problematic features [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/GEM/RiSAWOZ/blob/main/RiSAWOZ.py#L237) also look fine to me.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dset = load_dataset("GEM/RiSAWOZ")
```

## Expected results
I can load the dataset without error.

## Actual results

<details><summary>Traceback</summary>

Comments:
Hi @lewtun!
 
This one was tricky to debug. Initially, I tought there is a bug in the recently-added (by @lhoestq ) `cast_array_to_feature` function because `git bisect` points to the https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/commit/6ca96c707502e0689f9b58d94f46d871fa5a3c9c commit. Then, I noticed that the feature tpye of the `dialogue` field is `list`, which explains why you didn't get an error in earlier versions. Is there a specific reason why you use `list` instead of `Sequence` in the script? Maybe to avoid turning list of dicts to dicts of lists as it's done by `Sequence` for compatibility with TFDS or for performance reasons? If the field was `Sequence`, you would get an error in `encode_nested_example` because **the scripts yields some additional (nested) columns which are not specified in the `features` dictionary**. Previously, these additional columns would've been ignored by PyArrow (1), but now we have a check for them (2).
(1) See PyArrow behavior:
```
>>> pa.array([{"a": 2, "b": 3}], type=pa.struct({"a": pa.int32()})) # pyarrow ignores the extra column
-- is_valid: all not null
-- child 0 type: int32
  [
    2
  ]
 ```

(2) Check:
https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/4c417d52def6e20359ca16c6723e0a2855e5c3fd/src/datasets/table.py#L1059

The fix is very simple: just add the missing columns to the _EMPTY_BELIEF_STATE list:
```python
_EMPTY_BELIEF_STATE.extend(['通用-产品类别', '火车-舱位档次', '通用-系列', '通用-价格区间', '通用-品牌'])
```

Hey @mariosasko, thank you so much for figuring this one out - it certainly looks like a tricky bug 😱 ! I don't think there's a specific reason to use `list` instead of `Sequence` with the script, but I'll let the dataset creators know to see if your suggestion is acceptable.

Thank you again!

Thanks, this was indeed the fix! Would it make sense to produce a more informative error message in such cases? 

The issue can be closed.
