URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44182
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
An exception is raised when attempting to use a sparse or dense union with
`pa.Table.from_pylist()`.
**Steps to Reproduce**:
Run the following Python code:
```python
import pyarrow as pa
schema = pa.schema([
pa.field("data",
pa.dense_union([
pa.field("age", pa.int32()),
pa.field("weight", pa.int32()
)])
)
])
data = [
{"data": {"age": 20}},
]
table = pa.Table.from_pylist(data, schema=schema)
```
**Expected Behavior:**
The code should create a `pa.Table` using the provided schema and data.
**Actual Behavior**
The following exception is raised:
```
pyarrow.lib.ArrowNotImplementedError: sparse_union
```
With a traceback of:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):

```
This occurs both when using `pa.sparse_union` and `pa.dense_union`.
**PyArrow version: 18.0.0.dev**
