Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

As an example, when `Compute` is included in the build but `UTF8Proc` is not, you get failures in the compute tests for the utf-8 modules:

> FAILED pyarrow/tests/test_compute.py::test_string_py_compat_boolean[utf8-is_lower] - AttributeError: module 'pyarrow.compute' has no attribute 'utf8_is_printable'. Did you mean: 'ascii_is_printable'?
FAILED pyarrow/tests/test_compute.py::test_string_py_compat_boolean[utf8-is_numeric] - AttributeError: module 'pyarrow.compute' has no attribute 'utf8_is_printable'. Did you mean: 'ascii_is_printable'?

Research direction

Start with the failing cases in pyarrow/tests/test_compute.py and inspect the referenced component-related functions in python/pyarrow/__init__.py. Verify how unavailable testing components are represented, then ensure the affected tests are skipped when the component is absent and run the relevant PyArrow compute tests.
