[Java] Add method overload for VarCharVector.set(int,String)

[asfimport]

I would have expected that this is a very typical use case but at the moment I only see code that first needs to fill a VarCharHolder before passing it to VarCharVecttor.set(). We could also provide this as a convenience overload.

Correct me please if I missed a convenience feature. I'm still new to the Java side.

I added a convenience method to set the vector using the friendly type org.apache.arrow.vector.util.Text, which is already returned by getObject(int index). A Text instance can easily be made from a string using the constructor Text(String string)
