### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
```js
const { vectorFromArray, Int64 } = require('apache-arrow');
vectorFromArray([1], new Int64())
```
Fails with
```
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert 1 to a BigInt

If we wrap in `BigInt`, it works:
```
> vectorFromArray([BigInt(1)], new Int64());
Vector [IntVector<Int>] {
isValid: [Function (anonymous)],
get: [Function (anonymous)],
...
```
This seems odd, as it seems like `1` is being converted internally to
something that can't be converted into a BigInt. I would expect it to be
preserved, unless I am misunderstanding how the conversion to BitInt is
happening.
