URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10511


   This is a draft of adding more utility methods to FunctionOptions. It's not 
fully implemented (it needs rebasing + serialization isn't implemented for most 
options, plus there are various TODOs scattered). But before I proceed further, 
I wanted to get some feedback.
   
   Some concerns I have:
   - I don't like adding protected methods to a struct, and it's inconsistent 
with how equality is implemented for other structs (via a visitor or otherwise 
centralized in a single location). However ARROW-8891 will require that we be 
able to define kernels - and presumably their options - in a separate shared 
library, so I don't think we can do much better than this.
   - But for (de)serialization, we'll still need some way to dynamically 
register the mapping between a type_name and the actual struct, so maybe this 
is a moot point.
   - I've exposed the fact that serialization uses StructScalars to support 
Expression - but maybe this is too much to commit to in the API?
