Review Comment:
   We can remove the data slicing of the underlying `FieldCursor.values`. That 
slicing is a zero-copy of the underlying 
[ScalarBuffer](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/ab87abdd69ab787fdf247cf36f04abc1fbfa6266/arrow-buffer/src/buffer/scalar.rs#L76)
 or 
[GenericByteArray](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/ab87abdd69ab787fdf247cf36f04abc1fbfa6266/arrow-array/src/array/byte_array.rs#L325).
   
   Would you prefer a switch to using FieldCursor offsets in the same as the 
RowCursor?
