### Rationale for this change
Similar to the utility added in #36853, it would be helpful to have one that
creates Array proxies from existing `arrow::Array` objects. This will help us
implement methods that extract arrays from compound objects, such as
`arrow::RecordBatch`, `arrow::StructArray`, etc.
### What changes are included in this PR?
Added one new function:
```cpp
arrow::Result<arrow::matlab::array::proxy::Array> wrap(const
std::shared_ptr<arrow::Array>& array);
```
This function creates proxy objects from existing arrow arrays.
### Are these changes tested?
We are not using this utility yet, but we will use it in `RecordBatch` proxy
object. Once we do, we will be able to test it. If you prefer I wait to submit
this utility, please let me know.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
No.
### Future Directions
1. In a followup PR, we plan on changing the implementation of the
`arrow.tabular.RecordBatch/column(idx)` to extract array proxies from the C++
`arrow::RecordBatch`. When we do that, we will can use this utility and test it.
