It's good to make this consistent for signed vs unsigned integer types.
But, if `pa.array(['5']).cast("int64")` works, I would maybe also expect
`pa.array(['5'], type="int64")` to work (eg in numpy both work). Now, that
would be a much bigger change I suppose, I am certainly fine with making it
more strict.
