Description

### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

On MacOS attempting to use the system trust store with the JDBC driver results in an exception. The following is a minimal application which triggers the problem:

```java
import java.sql.*;

public class FlightSQLTLSTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.err.println("usage: java FlightSQLTLSTest dsn");
System.exit(2);
}

String dsn = args[0];
try {
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn);
DatabaseMetaData md = conn.getMetaData();
ResultSet rs = md.getCatalogs();
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
}
rs.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}

}

}
```

When the supplied DSN uses TLS with the system certificates `useEncryption=true&useSystemTrustStore=true` then the following execption is thrown on MacOS.

```

On linux the program runs as expected, outputting the list of catalogs.

Research direction

Start at ArrowFlightSqlClientHandler.Builder.build around line 586 and follow the system trust store handling used by the JDBC connection path. Reproduce the minimal FlightSQL application with useEncryption=true and useSystemTrustStore=true on MacOS, then compare it with Linux behavior. Done means the connection succeeds and catalogs are listed without the certificate exception.
