URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/49171
### Rationale for This Change
The `decimal()` factory function was deprecated in **Arrow v18.0.0** (over 6
years ago) in favor of `smallest_decimal()`. The deprecation grace period has
long since passed, and the function is **no longer used anywhere in the C++
codebase**.

### What Changes Are Included in This PR?
This PR removes the deprecated factory function:
```cpp
decimal(int32_t precision, int32_t scale)
```
### Are These Changes Tested?
Yes.
- Verified via full codebase search that no usages remain.
- No new tests are required since this change removes unused, deprecated
code.
### Are There Any User-Facing Changes?
Yes.
- The deprecated `decimal()` factory function is removed.
- Users should instead use:
- `smallest_decimal()`, or
- the explicit factory functions: `decimal32()`, `decimal64()`, or
`decimal128()`
