This PR exposes two new functions:
new_empty_array, that creates a new emptyArrayRef(i.e. dynamically typed) of any (primitive or nested) type exceptUnionRecordBatch::new_emptythat creates an emptyRecordBatch, thereby migrating code fromDataFusion.Since we were using a similar code in
array/transform/mod.rsandarray_list, this PR ends up removing some code.
