## What's Changed - Adds a `VariantArray` extension type. - Adds a `Builder` class for `VariantArray` that encodes `VariantValue` instances into the variant binary format and constructs the backing `StructArray`. - Introduces internal interfaces `IBinaryArray` and `IIndexes` to decouple `VariantArray` and other uses from concrete array types. `IBinaryArray` unifies `BinaryArray`, `LargeBinaryArray`, and `BinaryViewArray` behind a common `GetBytes` API. `IIndexes` abstracts index resolution for `DictionaryArray` and `RunEndEncodedArray`, enabling efficient sequential enumeration for REE arrays. Integer array types implement `IIndexes` with `GetPhysicalIndex` and `EnumeratePhysicalIndices` methods. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
