fix(node): support Apache Arrow 19 through 21 and run the library on each

Builds on #4359 (which added the Arrow 19-21 test aliases) and makes the
package genuinely work across the whole peer range:

* Resolve the library's own `apache-arrow` to 21.2.0 (devDependency) so
  the main CI jobs build, type-check and test on the newest release, and
  widen the peer range to `>=15.0.0 <22.0.0` instead of an exact pin.
* Add a CI job that re-installs with `apache-arrow` resolved to 19.0.1 and
  20.0.0 and runs the suite, covering what a consumer on those versions
  gets.
* Arrow 21 overrides `Symbol.hasInstance` on Schema/Field/Table/RecordBatch/
  Data so `instanceof` matches objects from another copy of the library,
  but not on DataType. The sanitizer's short-circuits therefore returned
  foreign schemas unchanged and Arrow's builders then failed with
  "Unrecognized type 'NONE'". Check the real prototype chain instead.
* Sanitize the types added in Arrow 20/21 (LargeList, Utf8View, BinaryView,
  IntervalMonthDayNano), looked up dynamically so the library still compiles
  and runs on older Arrow releases, with a clear error when the installed
  Arrow lacks the type. Carry `variadicBuffers` through `Data`.
* Loosen `FieldLike` so a branded DataType from another Arrow copy still
  type-checks; export the new `DataTypeLike`.
* Share the Arrow version list between test files, exercise embedding
  function types per version in the registry tests, and add sanitize and
  end-to-end coverage for the new column types.
* Enable `skipLibCheck`: flatbuffers 25 (via Arrow 21) ships declarations
  that need TypeScript 5.7+.
* Record the new dev dependencies in the third-party license inventory.
