[C++] APIs taking a `const vector<T>&` argument should instead take a `span<const T>` #44795

Open pitrou opened 1 day ago

Describe the enhancement requested

arrow::util::span (a backport of C++20 std::span) is more generally applicable than std::vector, so any public API currently accepting a vector const-ref argument should instead accept a span argument.

This could be broken down into several subtasks or PRs if deemed convenient.
