Description

[Arrow](https://github.com/arrow-py/arrow) is often used to handle dates & times in Python.
I suggest making "ArrowAttribute" and if it's okay, I will work some.
ex.
deserialize: int(dynamodb 'N' type) -> arrow
serialize: arrow-> int(dynamodb 'N' type)

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's existing attribute implementations and their tests to find the pattern for a new type. Use the issue's Arrow examples to define the expected conversion between Arrow values and DynamoDB numeric values, then verify both serialization and deserialization behavior.
