### Rationale for this change Currently, the properties and methods of `arrow.tabular.RecordBatch` and `arrow.tabular.Table` are very similar. To simplify implementation of these classes, reduce code duplication, and ensure design consistency, it might be helpful to factor out the common tabular functionality into an `arrow.tabular.Tabular` interface that both classes implement. ### What changes are included in this PR? 1. Defined a `arrow.tabular.Tabular` interface that contains the tabular functionality shared by `arrow.tabular.Table` and `arrow.tabular.RecordBatch`. 2. Updated `arrow.tabular.Table` and `arrow.tabular.RecordBatch` to implement the `arrow.tabular.Tabular` interface. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. These changes are covered by existing cases defined in `tTable.m` and `tRecordBatch`. ### Are there any user-facing changes? No. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
