Description
Using ninja instead of the default cmake generator can be quite beneficial (you get _some_ form of cached / incremental build, although not perfect), but we don't really document this at https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/python.html
```
export PYARROW_CMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja
```
