Description
In ListVector#setValueCount, we always compute data vector's value count based on lastSet - this is incorrect when valueCount is less than lastSet

Research direction
Start at ListVector#setValueCount in the Apache Arrow Java source and review the linked pull request apache/arrow#7214 for the intended behavior. Trace how the data vector's value count is computed when valueCount is less than lastSet, then run the relevant ListVector tests if available. Done means the inner vector receives the correct count in that case.
