   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   I would like to be able to create a DictionaryBuilder with an int8 key type. 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/6589 added support for some 
dictionaries to the builder, but it didn't support all the key types. There was 
some concern about code bloat, and that is warranted, but it's also the case 
that dictionaries with small numbers of values (sometimes just 1) come up. 
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   Also support int8 keys.
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   Fork the entire builder infrastructure?
