ARROW-15987: [C++][FlightRPC] Work around arrow-flight-test crash on AppVeyor

[lidavidm]

Unable to root cause. Poking around with a debugger, MSVC appears to generate wild code that calls into seemingly random functions, causing a crash. Holding back grpc-cpp does avoid the crash, so it seems to be something about the new gRPC version.

Perhaps you can rebuild in RelWithDebInfo mode to get better diagnostics?

[lidavidm]

I've done some more digging in RelWithDebInfo (see Jira) and it seems this is a regression with gRPC 1.45, that said, minimizing this into a reproducible example may take a while, this should get CI working for now

Reported upstream at grpc/grpc#29185

+1, let's merge to get passing CI and avoid skipping the Python tests
