Which issue does this PR close?

Another experiment in pursuit of #12644

Rationale for this change

It has been suggested that adding an Extension member to the DataType enum will be disruptive to downstream projects, so I thought I'd give it a try.

This also includes a (hacky) update to Arrow 55 but I separeated the commits.

What changes are included in this PR?

I added enough to get this to build and will experiment with an example to see what is required of Arrow to get extension types passing through various components (or if it's already built-in).

Built against apache/arrow-rs#7398 .

Are these changes tested?
