Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

I am interested in support for schema inference in the `RecordFromJSON` and `TableFromJSON` functions, as these currently require an `arrow.Schema` up front. I can try to contribute this if people think it makes sense. I noticed for CSV, there is [NewInferringReader](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/go/arrow/csv/reader.go#L75) which just assumes the type of the first row.
