Description

We have two tests right now:
1. Execute `mvn test` from the source tarball's java directory testing the source https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh#L278
2. Verify the checksums and signatures of the uploaded maven artifacts https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh#L766

But we don't actually **test** the packages. We should add that to the verification scripts, since 7.0 is going to be the first release shipping the jars with bundled JNI libraries.

Research direction

Start with dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh, especially the existing source-tarball Java test and Maven artifact verification steps. Review how `mvn test` is run from the source tarball's Java directory and how checksums and signatures are checked. Done means the verification scripts also test the Maven packages, including jars with bundled JNI libraries.
