Please describe the purpose of the new feature or describe the problem to solve.

I'm raising this issue to request the addition of a 'left' join type for Narwhals DataFrames. The 'left' join type is essential for performing various data analysis tasks, and its inclusion would enhance the capabilities of Narwhals.

Suggest a solution if possible.
