Hi everyone,

I'm trying to read binary file using csharp apache arrow library v9.0.0 and I'm facing this exception
```
Unhandled exception. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'name'))
 ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'name')
   at Apache.Arrow.Field..ctor(String name, IArrowType dataType, Boolean nullable)
   at Apache.Arrow.Ipc.MessageSerializer.FieldFromFlatbuffer(Field flatbufField, DictionaryMemo& dictionaryMemo)
   at Apache.Arrow.Ipc.MessageSerializer.FieldFromFlatbuffer(Field flatbufField, DictionaryMemo& dictionaryMemo)

   at Apache.Arrow.Ipc.ArrowStreamReaderImplementation.ReadSchemaAsync()
   at Apache.Arrow.Ipc.ArrowStreamReaderImplementation.ReadRecordBatchAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at Apache.Arrow.Ipc.ArrowStreamReaderImplementation.ReadNextRecordBatchAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
```
As far as I do understand, the library is complaining about field name being null, not sure if it's the case since I tried to read the same file using apache arrow golang library and it seems to work without issue.

Please find attached the `sample.arrow` file

Below a sample code I'm using to read this arrow file:
*Csharp sample
```

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Apache.Arrow;
using Apache.Arrow.Ipc;

namespace arrow_csharp_issue
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task AsyncMain()
        {
            byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes("./inputs/sample.arrow");
            using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(bytes))
            using (var reader = new ArrowStreamReader(memoryStream))
            {
                RecordBatch record = await reader.ReadNextRecordBatchAsync();
                Console.WriteLine(record);
            }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            AsyncMain().Wait();
        }
    }
}
```

* Golang sample
```
package main

import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"os"

"github.com/apache/arrow/go/v9/arrow/ipc"
)

func main() {
data, err := os.ReadFile("./inputs/sample.arrow")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

reader, err := ipc.NewReader(bytes.NewReader(data))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

defer reader.Release()

reader.Next()
record := reader.Record()
fmt.Println(record)
}
```

Thank you
