Research direction

Compare the requested conversion with tensorflow_transform/tf_metadata/schema_utils.py lines 201-260, then inspect this repository for the appropriate schema utility location and related tests. Done means providing an equivalent utility here without requiring TensorFlow Transform and verifying its feature_spec output.

Description

Converting a schema to a feature_spec = {feature.name: tf.io.FixedLenFeature(...) for feature in schema.feature} is a very common task. There is a utility to do this already in tensorfow transform, but there are many times where I don't need tensorflow transform except for that one function. I think it should belong in this repo instead.
