[Format] Add Decimal32 and Decimal64 to Arrow #43956

Description

@zeroshade

Describe the enhancement requested

Instead of adding entirely new types, we should widen the existing Decimal128/256 types to allow bit widths of 32 and 64.

This will require:

  • Update specification and Schema.fbs documentation
  • Implement basic type, arrays, builders, scalars
  • Update compute / acero kernels with the new types
  • Update Parquet implementation to leverage the new bitwidths where available
  • Add test cases for Decimal32/Decimal64 to existing tests and integration test cases
