Rationale for this change
ByteBuffer and byte[] are commonly used to hold binary data. The current writers require working
with ArrowBuf objects which need to be populated by copying from these types, then copying
into the vector.
What changes are included in this PR?
Add methods to VarBinary and LargeVarBinary writers to take in common binary parameters - byte[] and ByteBuffer.
The writer now sets these objects on the Vectors directly.
Are these changes tested?
Yes.
