Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

As of https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/44346, red-arrow has basic support for JRuby. The implementation is based on Arrow Java as opposed to Arrow C++.

The current implementation only supports creating int8 and int32 arrays and so needs to be extended to support a minimum set of features from the official (CRuby) red-arrow gem.

We should:

- [ ] Implement a minimum set of features from CRuby red-arrow
- [ ] Figure out logistics around whether and how to release. See body of https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/44346 for more details on this.

Contributions from the community are very welcome.
