   `ffi::ArrowArray::try_new` is marked unsafe, this is despite being called by 
the `safe` function `Array::to_raw`.
   
   I initially thought this was a mistake in `Array::to_raw` but I think this 
API shouldn't actually be marked unsafe. In particular **leaking memory is not 
unsafe**, and this appears to be the only consequence from misuse.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**

   We should make `ffi::ArrowArray::try_new` safe

   We could not do this
