perf(parquet/file): avoid double bool bitmap conversion (#707)
### Rationale for this change
Boolean columns currently get double converted when transferring between
Arrow and Parquet
### What changes are included in this PR?
**1. Arrow bitutil (`arrow/bitutil/bitmaps.go`)**
- Added `AppendBitmap()` method to `BitmapWriter`
- Directly copies bits from source bitmap using efficient `CopyBitmap()`
**2. Parquet encoder (`parquet/internal/encoding/boolean_encoder.go`)**
- Added `PutBitmap()` method to `PlainBooleanEncoder`
- Writes bitmap data directly without bool slice conversion
**3. Parquet decoder (`parquet/internal/encoding/boolean_decoder.go`)**
- Added `DecodeToBitmap()` method to `PlainBooleanDecoder`
- Reads directly into output bitmap
- Optimized fast path for byte-aligned cases
**4. Column writer (`parquet/file/column_writer_types.gen.go`)**
- Added `WriteBitmapBatch()` for non-nullable boolean columns
- Added `WriteBitmapBatchSpaced()` for nullable boolean columns
- Internal helper methods `writeBitmapValues()` and
`writeBitmapValuesSpaced()`
**5. Arrow-Parquet bridge (`parquet/pqarrow/encode_arrow.go`)**
- Modified `writeDenseArrow()` to detect boolean arrays
- Uses bitmap methods when available
- Falls back to original `[]bool` path if needed (backward compatible)
### Are these changes tested?
Yes, and new benchmarks are added as appropriate
### Are there any user-facing changes?
Just performance:
### Non-Nullable Boolean Columns
```

BenchmarkBooleanBitmapWrite/1M-16 3778 1568818 ns/op 79.68
MB/s 1763712 B/op 1237 allocs/op
```
### Nullable Boolean Columns (10% null rate)
```
BenchmarkBooleanBitmapWriteNullable/1K-16 214921 28002 ns/op 4.46
MB/s 39706 B/op 249 allocs/op
BenchmarkBooleanBitmapWriteNullable/10K-16 44618 134483 ns/op 9.29
MB/s 113690 B/op 268 allocs/op
BenchmarkBooleanBitmapWriteNullable/100K-16 5239 1149658 ns/op 10.87
MB/s 657178 B/op 451 allocs/op
BenchmarkBooleanBitmapWriteNullable/1M-16 556 10926274 ns/op 11.44
MB/s 5575200 B/op 2219 allocs/op
```
**Key Observations:**
- Direct bitmap path successfully avoids `[]bool` conversion
- Throughput scales well with data size (6.5 → 80 MB/s for non-nullable)
- Memory usage remains efficient with minimal allocations per operation
- Nullable columns have overhead from validity bitmap processing
(expected)
