ARROW-15195: [MATLAB] Enable GitHub Actions CI for MATLAB Interface on macOS

[sreeharihegden]

Overview

This Pull Request:

• Enables building of the MATLAB Interface C++ code, running of the C++ tests, and running of the MATLAB tests using GitHub Actions on a macos-latest VM.
• This is also updating the old version v0 of matlab-actions/setup-matlab enabled for ubuntu-latest VM to the lastest v1 matlab-actions/setup-matlab.

Implementation

This implementation uses matlab-actions to automatically install MATLAB into a GitHub Actions Linux and Mac VM.

We are using the most updated version: v1 matlab-actions/setup-matlab to enable the CI for Mac.

Here are the steps we require to build and run tests on Mac:

• Check out the repository
• Install ninja using the brew command
• Install MATLAB using matlab-actions/setup-matlab@v1
• Build MATLAB using the existing matlab_build.sh script in ci/scripts
• Set the MATLABPATH environment variable to the MATLAB Interface to Apache Arrow installation directory
• Run MATLAB tests in the folder matlab/test using matlab-actions/run-tests@v1

Testing

1. The GitHub Actions workflows passed successfully with no errors in this Job.
2. All C++ test results and MATLAB test results can be viewed in the workflow logs.

Future Directions

Enable support for Windows: matlab-actions/setup-matlab@v1 supports Windows now. We are working on enabling this for the MATLAB Arrow interface.

Notes

Thank you, Fiona @lafiona, for helping me with this pull request to submit the changes for matlab.yml.

I've merged #12004. Could you rebase on master?

Could you remove "Notes 1." from the description?

Thank you, @kou, for the feedback.
I have made the necessary changes to the job ids in matlab.yml as well as updated "Notes" here as suggested.
