API improvements for Arrow arrays #181

Description

@CurtHagenlocher

Describe the enhancement requested

A number of improvements have been suggested over the years to improve the Arrow APIs. Some of these would be backwards-incompatible.

  • Implement IEqualityComparer<Schema>
  • Implement IEqualityComparer<Field>
  • Fix implementation of IEquatable on arrays
  • Standardize on a base class instead of an interface
  • Add pretty-printing methods
  • Define scalar types for all Arrow types
  • FixedSizeBinaryArray somehow ended up in namespace Apache.Arrow.Arrays instead of Apache.Arrow like the other arrays.
