[I] [Integration] Test skip messages can be misleading [arrow]

["pitrou (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

pitrou opened a new issue, #38454:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/38454

   ### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
   
   The integration test runner displays skipped tests like this:
   ```
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7618109Z ======================================================================
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7618808Z ======================================================================
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7619627Z Testing file /tmp/arrow-integration-v3004kb3/generated_run_end_encoded.json
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7621134Z -- Skipping test because producer Rust does not support IPC
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7621941Z ======================================================================
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7622866Z ======================================================================
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7624223Z Testing file /tmp/arrow-integration-v3004kb3/generated_binary_view.json
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7625209Z -- Skipping test because producer Rust does not support IPC
   2023-10-25T08:23:41.7625913Z ======================================================================
   ```
   
   which is confusing, since Rust actually supports Arrow IPC, it's just that the specific datatypes or files are disabled for Rust.
   
   It would be nicer to have more specific messages, such as:
   ```
   Skipping test, reason: producer Rust does not support data type
   Skipping test, reason: consumer Java does not support data type
   Skipping test, reason: consumer JS does not support importing C arrays
   [etc.]
   ```
