Since in the relatively near future, one will be able to do non-trivial analytical operations and query processing natively on Arrow data structures through pyarrow, it does not make sense to require users to always install NumPy when they install pyarrow. I propose to split the NumPy-depending parts of libarrow_python into a libarrow_numpy (which also must be bundled) and moving this part of the codebase into a separate Cython module.

This refactoring should be relatively painless though there may be a number of packaging details to chase up since this would introduce a new shared library to be installed in various packaging targets.

GH-25118: [Python] Make NumPy an optional runtime dependency (#41904)
9ab9532 
### Rationale for this change

Being able to run pyarrow without requiring numpy.

### What changes are included in this PR?

If numpy is not present we are able to import pyarrow and run functionality.
A new CI job has been created to run some basic tests without numpy.

### Are these changes tested?

Yes via CI.

### Are there any user-facing changes?

Yes, NumPy can be removed from the user installation and pyarrow functionality still works
