   > I checked the old code too: metadata=true already selects GCM, and 
SignedFooterEncrypt rejects CTR. The new footer tag test also passes on the 
previous head. So the behavior fix is the metadata value; the GCM calls just 
make the signing rule clear.
   
   It took me a while to parse this AI speak, but I think this is saying that 
changing `file_decryptor->algorithm()` to `ParquetCipher::AES_GCM_V1` isn't 
actually necessary. We end up doing AES-GCM by passing `metadata=True`, which I 
missed: 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/14132604b3949ba1c25cc79fff2e1782b9efc413/cpp/src/parquet/encryption/encryption_internal.cc#L76
   
   Passing the AES_GCM_V1 algorithm explicitly makes things clearer. But this 
is more evidence for a tidy up being necessary (#45525).
   
   I'm happy to create a new parquet-testing file for this. I think we should 
generate it from this PR branch, then verify it can be read in arrow-go and 
parquet-java (which are the only other implementations that support AES-CTR I 
believe).
