[Python] pa.table(..) returns instead of raises error if passing invalid object

[asfimport]

When passing eg a Series instead of a DataFrame, you get:

In [4]: df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3]})                                                                                                                                                                        

In [5]: table = pa.table(df['a'])                                                                                                                                                                                  

In [6]: table                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Out[6]: TypeError('Expected pandas DataFrame or python dictionary')

In [7]: type(table)
