Support large arrays #187

Describe the enhancement requested

It's hard for the C# Arrow library to support large arrays. Commonly-used types like Array, Span and Memory use a 32-bit signed integer for the length, meaning that they can't have more than ~2 million elements in them. The ArrowBuffer structure that is the foundation of the core ArrayData class exposes these types directly. This may make it impossible to support large arrays in a strictly backwards-compatible fashion.
