jorisvandenbossche opened a new pull request, #40708:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/40708

   ### Rationale for this change
   
   We defined a protocol exposing the C Data Interface (schema, array and 
stream) in Python through PyCapsule objects and dunder methods 
`__arrow_c_schema/array/stream__` (https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/35531 
/ https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/37797).
   
   We also expanded the C Data Interface with device capabilities: 
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/format/CDeviceDataInterface.html 
(https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/34972).
   
   This expands the Python exposure of the interface with support for the newer 
Device structs.
   
   ### What changes are included in this PR?
   
   Update the specification to defined two additional dunders:
   
   
   * `__arrow_c_device_array__` returns a pair of PyCapsules containing a C 
ArrowSchema and ArrowDeviceArray, where the latter uses "arrow_device_array" 
for the capsule name
   * `__arrow_c_device_stream__` returns a PyCapsule containing a C 
ArrowDeviceArrayStream, where the capsule must have a name of 
"arrow_device_array_stream" 
   
   ### Are these changes tested?
   
   Spec-only change
