[C++][Python] Support binary_view in basic kernels #46856
Description
Describe the enhancement requested
As noted in duckdb/duckdb#17956 (comment) , basic kernels like == aren't supported for binary views. I couldn't find a previous issue for this but perhaps there is one!
import pyarrow as pa
from pyarrow import compute
tab = pa.table({"x": pa.array([b"abc"], pa.binary_view())})
compute.equal(tab["x"], tab["x"])
#> ArrowNotImplementedError: Function 'equal' has no kernel matching input types (binary_view, binary_view)Component(s)
C++, Python
Activity
Implement consumption and production of Arrow Binary View (#17975)

For many of them, this might simply be a one-line addition, though for some of them it might be possible to write a more optimized version using the inlined prefix.
