Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
```
In [3]: pa.__version__
Out[3]: '11.0.0'
In [4]: arr = pa.array(["abc"])
In [5]: pa.compute.utf8_slice_codeunits(arr, start=1.2, stop=2.2)
Out[5]:
[
"b"
]
```
I would expect this to raise a `ValueError` as the documentation says these arguments should be ints

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported call to pyarrow.compute.utf8_slice_codeunits with float start and stop arguments, then trace the Python entry point and its argument validation. Check the existing documentation and tests for these parameters; done means non-integer arguments raise ValueError while integer slicing remains unchanged.
