Describe the enhancement requested

First of all, great to see that Numpy has been dropped as a dependency (#44148). This makes PyArrow much leaner.

At PyIceberg we still use Numpy for generating and combining sequences for positional deletes apache/iceberg-python#1259

We can replace most of it with pure Arrow logic, except for generating the sequence. Generating using range is very slow, and it would be great to also have a np.arange equivalent in Arrow itself.
