Description

Python cookbook uses `.feather` (https://github.com/apache/arrow-cookbook/blob/90cdc3c5516f475149f172f869a1538cc50e8e68/python/source/io.rst#L535)

Arrow docs suggest `.arrow` instead of `.feather` https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/Columnar.html#ipc-file-format

Research direction

Compare the Python cookbook example in python/source/io.rst around the Feather file example with the linked Arrow IPC file-format documentation. Confirm the recommended extension and any distinction between the names, then update the cookbook wording so the recommendation is consistent and explicit.
