A `TransportChunk` is a `Chunk` that is ready for transport and/or
storage.
It is very cheap to go from `Chunk` to a `TransportChunk` and
vice-versa.
A `TransportChunk` maps 1:1 to a native Arrow `RecordBatch`. It has a
stable ABI, and can be cheaply send across process boundaries.
`arrow2` has no `RecordBatch` type; we will get one once we migrate to
`arrow-rs`.
A `TransportChunk` is self-describing: it contains all the data _and_
metadata needed to index it into storage.
We rely heavily on chunk-level and field-level metadata to communicate
Rerun-specific semantics over the wire, e.g. whether some columns are
already properly sorted.
The Arrow metadata system is fairly limited -- it's all untyped strings
--, but for now that seems good enough. It will be trivial to switch to
something else later, if need be.
