    AVRO-4189: [Java] Use ClassUtils.forName() in FastReaderBuilder for 
consistency (#3693)
    
    FastReaderBuilder.findClass() was using data.getClassLoader().loadClass()
    directly, bypassing ClassUtils.forName() which is used everywhere else in
    the codebase. This change aligns FastReaderBuilder with the standard class
    loading path and adds tests for class loading behavior.
