Research direction

Start by reading the ORC format documentation and defining whether the new crate should be named arrow-orc or orc. Map the required scope for reading ORC into Arrow arrays, including statistics, indexes, compound datatypes, and async support. Done means the agreed reader scope is implemented and ORC data can be converted into Arrow arrays.
