Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Hi Datafusion,
Great software - thanks!
For some of my bioinformatics applications I needed to call some statistical functions, and after creating a couple of ScalarUDFs for my immediate problem, I thought it would be pretty nice to have them available as a library, since they are generally useful for people doing data science or bioinformatics.
### Describe the solution you'd like
I've made a start on packaging up the statistical functions as a library - see https://github.com/drtconway/datafusion-statrs
Feedback on what is required to bring this to a level for inclusion in contrib would be welcome.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding ScalarUDFs in an ad hoc way to applications is perfectly feasible, but it would be preferable to do a thorough job of it once.
### Additional context

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked datafusion-statrs repository and the DataFusion contribution conventions for libraries in contrib. Determine the requirements and acceptance criteria for bringing the statistical functions to an inclusion-ready state, then confirm that the proposed scope and integration path are agreed upon.
