[C++] Improve performance of parquet readahead #31683
Description
The 7.0.0 readahead for parquet would read up to 256 row groups at once which meant that, if the consumer were too slow, we would almost certainly run out of memory.
ARROW-15410 improved readahead as a whole and, in the process, changed parquet so it's always reading 1 row group in advance.
This is not always ideal in S3 scenarios. We may want to read many row groups in advance if the row groups are small. To fix this we should continue reading in parallel until there are at least batch_size * batch_readahead rows being fetched.
