### Rationale for this change PyExtensionType autoload is really a misfeature. It creates PyArrow-specific extension types, though using ExtensionType is almost the same complexity while allowing deserialization from non-PyArrow software. ### What changes are included in this PR? * Disable PyExtensionType autoloading and deprecate PyExtensionType instantiation. * Update the docs to emphasize ExtensionType. ### Are these changes tested? Yes. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
