Description

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

ArrowWriterOptions is already a variant of FileTypeWriterOptions, but it does not yet contain any configurable options. Now that we support writing out arrow files #8608 we should add support for the options that arrow_ipc::FileWriter supports.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Update ArrowWriterOptions to parse options and pass through to arrow_ipc::FileWriter.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

We could also add session level configuration options, as we have for parquet.

### Additional context

Research direction

Start with ArrowWriterOptions and the existing arrow_ipc::FileWriter API; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how FileTypeWriterOptions are parsed and passed to writers, then verify that ArrowWriterOptions can configure the supported FileWriter options and that those options reach arrow_ipc::FileWriter.
