ARROW-8634: [Java] Add Getting Started section to Java README
Currently, it is difficult to get started with Arrow Java because there are
no examples, and no "getting started" guide.
This PR adds a couple of trivial examples as a starting point.
Closes #7066 from andygrove/ARROW-8634

# Arrow Java
+## Getting Started
+
+The following guides explain the fundamental data structures used in the Java
implementation of Apache Arrow.
+
+- [ValueVector](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/vector.html) is an
abstraction that is used to store a sequence of values having the same type in
an individual column.
+-
[VectorSchemaRoot](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/vector_schema_root.html)
is a container that can hold multiple vectors based on a schema.
+- The [Reading/Writing IPC
formats](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/ipc.html) guide explains how to
stream record batches as well as serializing record batches to files.
+
+Generated javadoc documentation is available
[here](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/).
