Review Comment:
I updated the validation in ArrayData to actually return an error in this
case rather than panic in 0b88bbccb8
I think this is inline with the guidance on
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs?tab=readme-ov-file#guidelines-for-panic-vs-result
However, I am not super happy with the number of changes required to the
code. I'll see if I can get the test to pass with a smaller change

Review Comment:
I concluded it was impossible to create an invalid PrimitiveArray -- when I
made one that had invalid nulls, then I got a panic in the
BooleanBufferConstructor here:
