Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently, the GraphAr Information classes support the users to extend their custom data types base on the info version (#27). However, the Reader/Writer implementations of our libraries do not support to read/write data in user-defined types.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Extend the GraphAr libraries to support pass a user-defined parser to the Reader/Writer, to handle the custom data types.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

**Additional context**
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Research direction

Start by reading the GraphAr Information classes and the Reader/Writer implementations to understand how custom data types are represented and currently handled. Trace the existing graph information version extension and identify the library entry points that would accept a user-defined parser. Done means the libraries can read and write user-defined types through that parser, with coverage for the supported reader and writer paths.
