Description

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

In flight producer , User is throwing StatusRuntimeException having metadata with custom error message from the implementation class of [FlightServerMiddleware.onCallStarted](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/java/flight/flight-core/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/flight/FlightServerMiddleware.java#L52) ,
eg:
`
Metadata trailers=new Metadata();
trailers.put(Metadata.key.of("custom_msg",Metadata.ASCII_STRING_MARSHALLER),"custom error msg");
throw StatusUtils.fromGrpcRuntimeException(new StatusRuntimeException(Status.UNAUTHENTICATED,trailers) );
`
But this is getting override in in catch block of [ServerInterceptorAdapter.interceptCall](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/ded148c2ef5dd441a3b6ab9496d0ed0aeb940f71/java/flight/flight-core/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/flight/grpc/ServerInterceptorAdapter.java#L104) ,

Because of this at flight client side user is not able to propagate meaning error message , Only correct status is received at client side .

Expectation :
Metadata from FlightRuntimeException should be used while closing the call .
[ServerInterceptorAdapter.interceptCall](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/ded148c2ef5dd441a3b6ab9496d0ed0aeb940f71/java/flight/flight-core/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/flight/grpc/ServerInterceptorAdapter.java#L104)
`
call.close(StatusUtils.toGrpcStatus(e.status()), e.status().metadata());
`

Research direction

Start in java/flight/flight-core/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/flight/grpc/ServerInterceptorAdapter.java at the catch block in interceptCall, then read FlightServerMiddleware.onCallStarted and StatusUtils. Verify that metadata from a FlightRuntimeException is retained when the call closes, and confirm the client receives the custom trailer value instead of an empty one.
