> Currently, PrimitiveArray::new passed with `null_count != 0` creates an array that does not follow the specification, as it is initialized with a {{None}} null bitmap but a non-zero null_count.
> This method also makes no attempt to check for the buffer's aligment, which leads to UB.
> Since a change in this method's signature requires a backward incompatible change, and it is only used in tests, I propose that we just remove it: we have good offers to create primitive arrays:
>  * from an {{ArrayData}},
>  * from a vector or vector of optionals
>  * from an iterator
> which covers all major cases.
