fix(parquet/file): write large string values (#655)
### Rationale for this change
Writing large byte array values (e.g., 50 values x 50MB each = 2.5GB
total) caused a panic due to exceeding max page size.
This happened because the writer accumulates the values in batches
*before* checking the page size limits:
1. `WriteBatch()` calls `writeValues()` which adds ALL values to the
encoder buffer
2. `commitWriteAndCheckPageLimit()` checks if the buffer exceeds the
limit
3. **PROBLEM**: At this point, the buffer alraedy contains > 2GB of data
if we hit the limit
4. `FlushCurrentPage()` attempts to do `int32(values.Len())` which
overflows: `2,500,000,000 -> -1,794,967,296`
5. `bytes.Buffer.Grow(-1,794,967,296)` panics
See
https://github.com/apache/arrow-go/issues/622#issuecomment-3822818048
### What changes are included in this PR?
Modified `writeValues()` and `writeValuesSpaced()` for `ByteArray` and
`FixedLenByteArray` types to check the buffer size *beore* adding the
values and proactively flush when approaching the 2GB limit (parquet
uses an int32 for page size).
### Are these changes tested?
Yes, new tests are added, including some benchmarks to ensure that the
new changes don't cause any performance impacts.
## Performance Impact
**TL;DR: <1% overhead for typical workloads, 0% for fixed-size types**
### Benchmarks
```
Benchmark Time Data Throughput
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WriteSmallByteArrayValues (100B) 2.19 ms 1 MB 457 MB/s
WriteMediumByteArrayValues (10KB) 18.0 ms 10 MB 556 MB/s
WriteLargeByteArrayValues (1MB) 137 ms 100 MB 730 MB/s
WriteInt32Values (control) 0.15 ms 0.04 MB 267 MB/s
(unchanged)
```
### Impact by Data Type
| Data Type | Overhead | Notes |
|-----------|----------|-------|
| Int32, Int64, Float, Boolean | **0%** | Unchanged code paths |
| ByteArray (small, <1KB) | **<1%** | Batched processing |
| ByteArray (large, >1MB) | **<0.01%** | I/O dominates, checking
negligible |
### Per-Value Overhead
| Value Size | Encoding Time | Added Overhead | % Impact |
|------------|--------------|----------------|----------|
| 100 bytes | 200 ns | ~10 ns | ~5% |
| 1 KB | 2,000 ns | ~10 ns | ~0.5% |
| 100 KB | 200,000 ns | ~10 ns | ~0.005% |
| 1 MB+ | 2,000,000 ns | ~120 ns | ~0.006% |
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Only the fix to the previous situation that would panic.
