   ### Rationale for this change
   
   Java is missing delta encoding for dictionaries per 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/status.html. This PR will implement delta 
encoding and a helper to easily write dictionary encoded columns in batched 
streams and files.
   
   <!--
    Why are you proposing this change? If this is already explained clearly in 
the issue then this section is not needed.
    Explaining clearly why changes are proposed helps reviewers understand your 
changes and offer better suggestions for fixes.  
   -->
   
   ### What changes are included in this PR?
   
   Adds a new `BaseDictionary` interface that the original `Dictionary` 
implements. A new `BatchedDictionary` is added that allows for writing data to 
the dictionary in batches that are then flushed to an IPC stream or file. On 
flush, the `BatchedDictionary` is reset to support delta encoding or 
replacement (for streams only).
   Also adds a flag to the `DictionaryEncoding` to enable delta encoding.

   There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is 
sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR.
   -->
   
   ### Are these changes tested?
   
   Yes, multiple unit tests on IPC files and streams. Not tested with add-on 
libraries.
   
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?
   -->
   
   ### Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Yes with new APIs. Existing APIs are backwards compatible so no code changes 
are needed.
   
   <!--
   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.
   -->
   
   <!--
   If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please uncomment the line 
below and explain which changes are breaking.

   <!-- **This PR includes breaking changes to public APIs.** -->
   
   <!--
   Please uncomment the line below (and provide explanation) if the changes fix 
either (a) a security vulnerability, (b) a bug that caused incorrect or invalid 
data to be produced, or (c) a bug that causes a crash (even when the API 
contract is upheld). We use this to highlight fixes to issues that may affect 
users without their knowledge. For this reason, fixing bugs that cause errors 
don't count, since those are usually obvious.
