Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
Tested on Arrow Flight JDBC 15, 15.02 and with a locally-built Arrow Flight SQL JDBC Driver 17.0.0-SNAPSHOT.
When using a JDBC statement to execute an UPDATE, the getUpdateCount() method seems to always return -1. This seems to be incorrect. The getUpdateCount() should return the number of rows UPDATEd.
For a data source, we're using the [Voltron docker container](https://hub.docker.com/r/voltrondata/flight-sql)
In this debugger image, you can see the return counts from the getUpdateCount() and from the actual result set (the update returns one row, with one column, that indicates the number of UPDATEd rows.
Here is a screen grab of the output data:
And, in this screengrab, I used the Postgres driver to update a table in postgres:latest Docker image:
The data in the Postgres table is different, but the getUpdateCount() method returned 1 which is correct for that data.
The test program I used is checked into this Github repo: [ZD128958](https://github.com/rcprcp/ZD128958)
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by running the ZD128958 test program against the Arrow Flight SQL JDBC Driver and compare Statement.getUpdateCount() with the returned result set for an UPDATE. Trace the JDBC driver path handling UPDATE results; done means getUpdateCount() reports the number of updated rows, as the PostgreSQL driver does.
