Keeping this in draft until I can do some manual verification that it works |

Thank you @a10y -- this code looks great to me. I am not a low level expert in this area but I read it closely and it looks good. I found the code clear and easy to follow and the comments really helped. 🏆
I think the PR needs a few more tests (I commented on which below) but otherwise is ready to go.

Closes #6366
Rationale for this change
Previously, StringViewArrays and BinaryViewArrays sent to PyArrow will panic.
If you use the updated
test_to_pyarrow()from this PR without the additional changes, it will fail.What changes are included in this PR?
The specification states that the C Data Interface format for StringViewArray and BinaryViewArray includes an extra
variadic_buffer_sizesbuffer at the end of the various output values.We were not including that before. There was a prior PR to add it for the IPC format, but not for the C Data Interface.
I cribbed the relevant C++ code for this: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/ab0a40ee34217070f14027776682074c55d0b507/cpp/src/arrow/c/bridge.cc#L584-L609
Are there any user-facing changes?
It should now be possible to share StringViewArray and BinaryViewArray over C Data Interface.
