MINOR: [Python][Docs] Remove reference to removed pyarrow.HdfsFile (#50397)
### Rationale for this change
The Python memory/IO docs list `pyarrow.HdfsFile` as a `NativeFile`
subclass, but that class no longer exists (legacy HDFS was deprecated in 2.0
and later removed). The `:class:` reference has no target, and HDFS access now
uses `pyarrow.fs.HadoopFileSystem`, which returns regular `NativeFile` objects.
It's the only unresolved pyarrow cross-reference on the page.
### What changes are included in this PR?
Removes the stale `pyarrow.HdfsFile` bullet in
docs/source/python/memory.rst. One line, docs only.
### Are these changes tested?
Confirmed `pyarrow.HdfsFile` isn't in pyarrow, the ref appears only once,
and all remaining `:class:` refs on the page resolve after removal.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Documentation only.
