   # Rationale for this change
   
   Prior to this change, randomly generated temporal values spanned the entire 
range of their native types. For instance, `TimestampSecondType` generated 
values in the range of i64::MIN to i64::MAX; however, chrono's 
`DateTime::<Utc>::MAX_UTC` timestamp is `8210266876799`.
   
   At work, we making a translation layer for our internal data types to 
arrow's types. `create_random_array` and `create_random_batch` have been really 
helpful in terms of generating test data.
   
   # What changes are included in this PR?
   
   Defines a new `RandomTemporalValue` trait within `arrow::util::data_gen` 
that restricts the range when generating a random value.
   
   # Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Yes. Docs have been added + no breaking changes.
