    Optimize memory footprint of view arrays from 
`ScalarValue::to_array_of_size` (#19441)
    
    ## Which issue does this PR close?
    
    <!--
    We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and
    enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases.
    You can link an issue to this PR using the GitHub syntax. For example
    `Closes #123` indicates that this PR will close issue #123.
    -->
    
    - Closes #19440
    
    ## Rationale for this change
    
    <!--
    Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly
    in the issue then this section is not needed.
    Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand
    your changes and offer better suggestions for fixes.
    -->
    
    When we have view scalars (utf8/binary) and we call `to_array_of_size`,
    the data buffers the resultant arrays have contains duplicate data. This
    is because the APIs we use don't deduplicate the data, instead appending
    it each time even though the data is exactly duplicated.
    
    ## What changes are included in this PR?
    
    <!--
    There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it
    is sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this
    PR.
    -->
    
    Manually use a builder with deduplication enabled.
    
    ## Are these changes tested?
    
    <!--
    We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
    1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
    2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
    
    If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example,
    are they covered by existing tests)?
    -->
    
    Added test.
    
    ## Are there any user-facing changes?
    
    <!--
    If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be
    updated before approving the PR.
    -->
    
    No.
    
    <!--
    If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api
    change` label.
    -->
