[I] BUG: Empty slicing an array backwards beyond the start should be empty [arrow]

[via GitHub]

mroeschke opened a new issue, #40642:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40642

   ### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, 
version, and platform.
   
   I think post https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/39240, and slicing with an 
empty slice under the same conditions returns the first element when the result 
should be empty
   
   ```python
   In [14]: import pyarrow as pa
       ...: print(pa.__version__)
       ...: array = pa.chunked_array([list("abcde")])
       ...: array[slice(-6, -6, -1)]
   16.0.0.dev318
   Out[14]: 
   <pyarrow.lib.ChunkedArray object at 0x11a1ce4d0>
   [
     [
       "a"
     ]
   ]
   
   In [15]: list("abcde")[slice(-6, -6, -1)]
   Out[15]: []
   ```
