…Variant extension type The Variant extension type has been published to the official list of canonical Arrow extension types at the Parquet Variant section. Update the VariantArray doc comment to link there instead of claiming it has not yet been published and referencing the now-closed tracking issue apache/arrow#46908.

Which issue does this PR close?
Closes none (doc-only follow-up to apache/arrow#46908, which was closed 2025-09-17 when the canonical extension type was published).
Rationale for this change
The
VariantArraystruct-level doc comment currently states:That is no longer true: Parquet Variant is now documented as a canonical Arrow extension type under the Parquet Variant section of
CanonicalExtensions. The rendered rustdoc forVariantArrayis therefore stale.What changes are included in this PR?
Update the
# Documentationsection of theVariantArrayrustdoc to link directly to the#parquet-variantanchor of the canonical extensions page, and drop the reference to the now-closed tracking issue.Are there any user-facing changes?
Documentation only — no API or behavior changes.
