Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

With the switch to scikit-build-core backend PyArrow now uses env vars from Arrow C++ and so the usage of pyarrow specific env vars, for example `PYARROW_WITH_GANDIVA`, is not needed anymore. I think these env vars can be removed from [Building PyArrow documentation](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/python/building.html) and also from our CI and dev scripts.
