### Rationale for this change
Right now our MemoryManager interfaces operate solely at the buffer level
and we do not provide any higher level facilities to copy an entire array or
record batch between memory types. We should implement CopyArrayTo and
CopyBatchTo functions which recursively utilize the buffer level copying to
create a new Array/RecordBatch whose buffers have been copied to the
destination memory manager.

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)?
