   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   <!--
   A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always

   (This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for 
this feature, in addition to  the *what*)
   -->
   
   Came up when working on https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/15968. 
Since working with native code offsets will generally be `usize` it would be 
nice to have generic way to get max `usize` value for `OffsetSizeTrait` instead 
of deriving it at runtime
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   <!--
   A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
   -->
   
   ```
   pub trait OffsetSizeTrait: ArrowNativeType + std::ops::AddAssign + Integer {
     const MAX_OFFSET:usize
     ...
   }
   
   impl OffsetSizeTrait for i32 {
       const MAX_OFFSET: usize = i32::MAX as usize;
       ..
   }
   
   impl OffsetSizeTrait for i64 {
       const MAX_OFFSET: usize = i64::MAX as usize;
       ..
   }
   
   
   ```
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**

   Can do it like it's done in the above PR by deriving at runtime based on 
`IS_LARGE`
