fix(node): update arrow to 21 (#4362)

Thanks @vincentkoc for starting this! I was just looking into this
myself. I started with your PR and added:
- make arrow 21 the default
- widen the peer range to <22 so if they release 21.3 that'll be
included
- have to do skipLibCheck in tsconfig.json, because of flatbuffers 25
which needs TypeScript 5.7
- fix override in Symbol.hasInstance
- support new types in Arrow 20-21 (LargeList, Utf8View, BinaryView,
IntervalMonthDayNano)
- arrow-compat job in nodejs.yml that runs tests with arrow 19 and 20
(adds 2 sec)
- put the list of arrow types in one place
- update NODEJS_THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md
- regenerated typescript docs (sorry about reorderings, one time cost)
- reformat arrow.test.ts (sorry, almost all whitespace, thanks to biome.
git diff -w shows 110 lines edited)
- fixed Sliced Utf8View / BinaryView serialization error, by just
converting them to Utf8 and Binary (as our rust code would anyway)
