Description
We need to get all signatures of a function name during the type inference stage of Gandiva parser.
**Reporter**: [Jin Shang](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17746) / @js8544

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Gandiva parser's type-inference stage and how function signatures are currently looked up. Identify the signature registry or lookup entry point, then verify that a function name can return all matching signatures for inference.
