[C++] Allow in-memory array over 2^31 -1 elements but require splitting at IPC / RPC boundaries

[asfimport]

To make Arrow a more flexible container for interacting with foreign data, it will be useful to be able to do zero-copy construction of arrays having a footprint of larger than 2 billion * sizeof(type). When sending such data over the wire, we would need to break it into pieces of at most 2 billion
