### Rationale for this change
When working on PR #36855, we realized it would be better to place all
recommended public/user-facing APIs in the top-level `arrow` package. That's
why we added the function `arrow.field` in the top-level `arrow` package
instead of under `arrow.type`, even though the `Field` class is within
`arrow.type` package.
### What changes are included in this PR?
1. Moved the type constructor functions (`arrow.type.int8()`,
`arrow.type.timestamp()`, etc) from the `arrow.type` package to the `arrow
package`.
**Example: Old Way to Create a `Timestamp` Object:**
```matlab
>> type = arrow.type.timestmap(TimeUnit="nanosecond");
```
**Example: New Way to Create a `Timestamp` Object:**
```matlab
>> type = arrow.timestmap(TimeUnit="nanosecond");
```
### Are these changes tested?
Changes are covered by existing tests.
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes.
NOTE: This is a breaking change, but the MATLAB interface is not yet stable.
