…that preserves index name if available

Related to the discussion about the pandas metadata specification in pandas-dev/pandas#18201, and an alternative to #1271.

I don't open this PR because it should necessarily be merged, I just want to show that it is not that difficult to both fix [ARROW-1754](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1754) and preserve index names as field names when possible (as this was mentioned in pandas-dev/pandas#18201 as the reason to make this change to not preserve index names).
The diff is partly a revert of #1271, but then adapted to the current codebase.

Main reasons I prefer to preserve index names: 1) usability in pyarrow itself (if you would want to work with pyarrow Tables created from pandas) and 2) when interchanging parquet files with other people / other non-pandas systems, then it would be much nicer to not have `__index_level_n__` column names if possible.
