Describe the enhancement requested

Currently,arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays does not validate the supplied offsets and values to ensure that they represent a valid list. This can result in ListArrays that look like the following:

>> offsets = arrow.array(int32([0, 2, 3, 7, 100]))               

offsets = 

[
  0,
  2,
  3,
  7,
  100
]

>> values = arrow.array(["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"])     

values = 

[
  "A",
  "B",
  "C",
  "D",
  "E",
  "F",
  "G"
]

>> arrowArray = arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays(offsets, values)

arrowArray = 

<Invalid array: Length spanned by list offsets (100) larger than values array (length 7)>

We should add support for validating offsets and values to arrow.array.ListArray.fromArrays and potentially provide a name-value pair like ValidateList = true | false to the fromArrays method to let client code control whether or not they want to pay the cost of validation.
