Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
`make_builder` currently only supports s subset of the available data types, it would be good to add support for
* ListArray
* LargeListArray
* Decimal256Array
* UnionArray
* DictionaryArray
This can likely make use of the new `downcast_primitive` macros.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the make_builder implementation and inspect the new downcast_primitive macros mentioned in the issue. Trace how existing data types are handled, then verify that ListArray, LargeListArray, Decimal256Array, UnionArray, and DictionaryArray are supported and covered by the project's relevant tests.
