[I] Decimal256Array could be a little more forgiving [arrow-dotnet]

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

CurtHagenlocher opened a new issue, #247:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-dotnet/issues/247

   ### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
   
   The following throws an exception even though it could return a precise result:
   ```
       var array = new Decimal256Array.Builder(new Decimal256Type(76, 38)).Append(2422.85527600000m).Build();
       System.Console.WriteLine(array.GetValue(0));
   
   ```
   In general, we could also consider allowing a consumer to say "I'm okay with truncating a value whose scale fits in a `SqlDecimal` or `System.Decimal` but for which I'd lose digits of precision."
