Describe the enhancement requested

ChunkedArrayResolver::Resolve<T> can be made more generic by always producing a ResolvedChunk<arrow::Array> instead of

• ResolvedChunk<arrow::Int64Array>
• ResolvedChunk<arrow::BoolArray>
• ResolvedChunk<arrow::StringArray
• and so on...

It's only ResolvedChunk::Value that needs to specialize on the sub-type of arrow::Array.

Other possible improvements that might end up with their own dedicated issues:

• Make ChunkedArrayResolver constructable from std::vectors of other chunk array types (eg std::shared_ptr<Arrow>, std::shared_ptr<ArrayData> instead of just const Array
• Make that construction step zero-copy
