Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

Currently, the `BatchCoalescer::push_batch` is used for writing batches to a target batch size.

In of https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/8951 we're writing a faster kernel for filtering that avoids creating small batches / copying the data once more.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Use the API in filter / LimitedBatchCoalescer

### Describe alternatives you've considered

_No response_

### Additional context

https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/19851/changes/6e1c4075de73c7f9407aab52349978659b1348ad has a PoC version

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced DataFusion PoC, then locate LimitedBatchCoalescer and FilterExec and trace their current batch-writing path. Compare that path with the push_batch_with_filter API described in the issue. Done means the filter path uses the API while preserving the intended batch-coalescing behavior.
