Description

ArrowFileWriter and ArrowStreamWriter doesn't expose a constructor for setting a {_}CompressionCodec{_}.

If they are not meant to, there should be proper documentation on how to save compressed data.

**Reporter**: [Michal Zaborec](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18143)

**Note**: *This issue was originally created as [ARROW-18143](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18143). Please see the [migration documentation](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14542) for further details.*

Research direction

Start by inspecting the ArrowFileWriter and ArrowStreamWriter constructors and the existing compression documentation. Determine whether compression should be configurable through the writers or documented as an existing workflow, then verify that the chosen behavior allows saving compressed Arrow data.
