### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
The String methods on the Go `array.Date32` and `array.Date64` types return
strings formatted as the underlying integers, rather than strings formatted as
dates as in other implementations.
For example, this code in Go:
```
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/apache/arrow/go/v12/arrow"
"github.com/apache/arrow/go/v12/arrow/array"
"github.com/apache/arrow/go/v12/arrow/memory"
)
func main() {
db := array.NewDate32Builder(memory.DefaultAllocator)
defer db.Release()
db.AppendValues([]arrow.Date32{1, 2, 3}, nil)
arr := db.NewArray()
defer arr.Release()
fmt.Println(arr)
}
```
produces the following output:
```
[1 2 3]
```
More or less equivalent code in Python:
```
import pyarrow as pa
date_array = pa.array([1, 2, 3], type=pa.date32())
print(date_array)
```
produces:
```
[
1970-01-02,
1970-01-03,
1970-01-04
]
```
I think the Go implementation's dates should also return formatted dates?
