   xref https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-638
   
   Added COMPLEX_FLOAT and COMPLEX_DOUBLE types to the flatbuffers definition 
in feather.fbs as an initial stab.
   
   This is a draft and I've some questions before proceeding foreward:
   
   - Complex valued types are standard types so my impression would be that 
base types should exist for them in Arrow.
   - But this looks like it may be a breaking format change (V5 to V6). Is this 
undesirable?
   - Alternatively, what would be lost by implementing this as an [C++ 
Extension 
Type](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-638?focusedCommentId=16912456&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16912456
   )?
