Rationale for this change
Arrow currently supports JSON reading in C++, but it currently lacks an equivalent JSON writer. This means users are suffer marshalling overhead when writing JSON through languages such as Python.

This implements a writer for line-delimited JSON, and the API is based on the CSV writer.
It is implemented using the
RowBatchBuilderfrom thecpp/examples/arrow/rapidjson_row_converter.ccexample, with some improvements:There are no bindings for other languages implemented yet.
Are these changes tested?
Yes, with C++ unit tests.
There are also a few benchmarks based on the CSV writer benchmarks.
Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes, a new JSON writer API.
