Description
### Describe the enhancement requested
Some time ago the IPC specification was added to the main Arrow Columnar Format page (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5202/files#diff-6569a570a17ffd52bbe0b4f58cc6da2610ede6ac9c9d0771f46a01e80202946e). We could split this content again adding the IPC content back to a separate page, reasoning:
- new content is planned to be added to the Arrow Columnar Format page making it harder to navigate through as it is becoming quite heavy with information
- new parts of the specification also landed into separate pages, for example: C Data Interface, Flight, etc.
