ARROW-94: [Format] Expand list example to clarify null vs empty list
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
WIP to make sure what I've done so far looks good.  Per discussion on the JIRA item I started conversion of examples images to "text diagrams", but I wanted to get feedback to see if this is actually desirable (and if the way I'm approaching it is desirable).  The remaining diagrams are for unions which I can convert if the existing changes look OK to others (although I think the Union diagrams are are pretty reasonable/compact).

This change also includes some other minor cleanup, as well as including a statement about endianness per the discussion on the mailing list.
