Consume COLUMN_DEF in JDBC Flight Driver #1134

Describe the enhancement requested

WIP - still editing below. I have a working fix I play to link to this issue.

ArrowDatabaseMetadata's schema currently defines a vector for COLUMN_DEF, yet never assigns any value to it. FlightSQLColumnMetadata also does not have a constant set for this value.

Due to this, database connections through java's arrow-flight cannot and will not show underlying default value metadata per column. DESCRIBE TABLE or similar calls (engine depending) can still be used to get a column's default value, but it can be at odds with what the client shows.

In my case, my tests were ran using Dremio as the engine and dBeaver as the client.
