Description
It seems some `nogil` declarations must be fixed for some of the libarrow_python APIs that actually take/return a `{}PyObject*{`}, or depend on Python C APIs.

Research direction
Start by inspecting libarrow_python.pxd, focusing on declarations involving PyObject* or Python C APIs and their nogil annotations. Done means the affected declarations no longer permit nogil where Python interaction makes that unsafe.
