   We generally require a GitHub issue to be filed for all bug fixes and 
enhancements and this helps us generate change logs for our releases. You can

   Closes #6327.
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   Support `extract`/`date_part` by passing through requests to Arrow (where 
functionality was added in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/6071 and 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/6246). There were also two changes 
required to the `seconds` helper function:
   
   * If the number of nanoseconds overflows a 32 bit integer, (e.g., a DayTime 
interval of 5 seconds), then querying the nanoseconds returns null. However, it 
is reasonable to return a number of seconds in this case. However, if there is 
a non-round number of seconds, this will give an inaccurate answer, e.g., 5.1 
seconds will get returned as 5, but I'm not sure how to solve this - returning 
null for round numbers of seconds seems bad. We could fall back to 
milliseconds, but that complicates the code, is still imperfect, and has less 
predictable results. I also had a question about *how* I did this (REVIEW 
comment in the code).
   * The number of seconds was previously counted twice in cases where seconds 
are reflected in the number of nanoseconds.
   
   A change which would fix both these issues (and I assume is an invariant 
which previously held) would be to not include whole seconds when returning 
nanoseconds. However, I think that breaks compat with Postgres.
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   Yes, sqllogictests. The tests are not exhaustive because these features are 
properly tested in Arrow.
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Users can use `extract` or `date_part` with intervals and durations.
