[arrow-buffer] Integer overflow in BitChunks::new leads to undefined behavior #9903

Description

This issue was previously reported privately and is now being disclosed following coordination with maintainers.

BitChunks::new() computes offset + length without overflow checking.
When the sum wraps, bounds validation may be bypassed, leading to an inconsistent internal state.

This can result in a potential out-of-bounds read via safe Rust APIs.

Fix

See PR #9818
