proc-macro2 is hard pinned in arrow-flight #1101
Description
Describe the bug
Pinning the version of proc-macro used in arrow-flight prevents updates of the proc-macro crate.
In the meantime, an indirect dependency (quote) released a version that was not strictly backwards compatible and didn't work with this version of proc-macro2. The issue was subsequently fixed in newer versions of the quote but the old version is still on crates.io, preventing arrow from compiling. dtolnay/quote#204 requests to author to yank it.
Trying to publish arrow-flight results in the following error:

Caused by:

It also causes errors in downstream dependencies such as Datafusion, such as apache/datafusion#1498 (when a bugfix to a dependent crate requires upgrading to a newer version of proc-macro2
To Reproduce
See apache/datafusion#1498
Expected behavior
Be as flexible with the versions allowed as possible
