[Python] from pandas raises ArrowInvalid for date(time) subclasses

[asfimport]

When converting a pandas dataframe holding subclasses of date/datetime objects, arrow raises an ArrowInvalid exception

import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa
import datetime

classMyDate(datetime.date):
    pass

date_array = [MyDate(2000, 1, 1)]
df = pd.DataFrame({"date": pd.Series(date_array, dtype=object)})

table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
