[C++] sort_indices - implement kernel that allows sorting by boolean field

[asfimport]

Please can we have a kernel for sort_indices that allows the input to be boolean values?

I tried running this R code:

Table$create(iris) %>%
  arrange(Species == "setosa") %>%
  collect()
      

However, I get the following error:

Error: NotImplemented: bool
/home/nic2/arrow/cpp/src/arrow/compute/kernels/vector_sort.cc:1628  sorter.Sort()

That should definitely be doable.
