### Rationale for this change UUID extension types were made canonical in #41299 and are getting native support in C++ and Python in #37298. As such, it makes sense to provide an alternative user-defined extension type as an example that is unlikely to become a canonical extension type anytime soon. After discussion in #43809, we determined a `RationalType` would make sense. Please note that this is a redo of #43849 as I made a blunder and accidentally pushed a branch that was in a wonky state. ### What changes are included in this PR? A change in several doc locations which reference a `UuidType` extension type have been changed to a `RationalType`. For consistency, this PR also changes single quotes (`''`) to double quotes (`""`) throughout the Python examples that it modifies. Also, seemingly unrelated to this change, some doctests began failing as numpy changed the `repr` of `float16`'s between 1.x and 2.x. We have updated the failing doctest so that it supports both styles. ### Are these changes tested? These are documentation changes and `archery docker run conda-python-docs` succeeds locally. ### Are there any user-facing changes? No. cc @ianmcook @rok * GitHub Issue: #43809 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
