Description
### Describe the enhancement requested
The docstring for `Array.from_buffers` (and similar methods on subclasses, e.g. `StringArray.from_buffers`) should explicitly mention that the caller is responsible for passing valid Arrow data (or calling `validate` on the result), otherwise they could encounter crashes when using the result.
