### Rationale for this change The documentation for the MATLAB interface hasn't been updated in a while and is out of date. This PR includes a few miscellaneous updates and enhancements to the documentation. ### What changes are included in this PR? 1. Updated the display output for the various `arrow.*` types used in the code snippets in [matlab/README.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/README.md). 2. Updated the table of supported `arrow.array.Array` types in [matlab/README.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/README.md). 3. Added a link to the [Testing Guidelines](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/doc/testing_guidelines_for_the_matlab_interface_to_apache_arrow.md) in the Testing section of [matlab/README.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/README.md) 4. Added a link to the [Testing Guidelines](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/doc/testing_guidelines_for_the_matlab_interface_to_apache_arrow.md) in [matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/doc/matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow_design.md). ### Are these changes tested? N/A. This is a documentation only change. I visually inspected the rendered Markdown for all modified documents to ensure they updated contents display as expected. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. 1. This PR updates the user-facing documentation for the MATLAB interface. [matlab/README.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/README.md) and [matlab/doc/matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow.md](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/matlab/doc/matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow_design.md) have been modified as described above in the "What changes are included in this PR?" section. ### Future Directions 1. Consider deleting or re-purposing `matlab/doc/matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow_design.md`. This document is fairly old and may no longer be the most effective way to document the MATLAB interface. 2. Consider using shorter filenames for `matlab_interface_for_apache_arrow_design.md` and/or `testing_guidelines_for_the_matlab_interface_to_apache_arrow.md`. 3. #28149 - consider moving code snippets in `README.md` to an `examples/` directory to simplify `README.md`. 4. Consider adding more developer-oriented documentation (e.g. like "`contributing.md`" to help guide and encourage new contributors to the MATLAB interface). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
