Description

@alamb

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
Avro is another (row oriented) storage format such as CSV, or JSON. arrow-rs includes (optional) features for reading those formats, and we could also contemplate reading avro as well.

In apache/datafusion#910 @Igosuki implemented avro support for DataFusion and @nevi-me suggested apache/datafusion#910 (comment) this might belong in arrow-rs if there was sufficient interest

Describe the solution you'd like
An AvroReader, similar to CsvReader and JsonReader in arrow-rs

Describe alternatives you've considered
Leave the code in DataFusion
