Srijan Keshri 118e606e8e fix(python): align vector parent indices after flattening null lists (#4572)
Arrow's `flatten()` skips child values hidden under null list parents,
but `list_parent_indices()` can retain their indices. This makes
`has_nan_values()` raise `ArrowInvalid` because the parent indices and
NaN mask have different lengths.

Filter out indices belonging to null parents before applying the mask.
The regression test covers `ListArray` and `LargeListArray`,
float16/32/64, and chunked inputs: 12 cases. NaN and null-component
policies stay the same.

The crash also affects #4503. This patch fixes it separately from that
PR's changes to bad-vector policies.

Validation:

- All 12 regression cases failed before the fix. The utility suite now
passes with 87 passed and 1 skipped.
- Ruff lint and formatting pass for both changed files, as does `git
diff --check`.
- The patch applies cleanly to main at `ca275b6d`. The patched helper
from that revision also passes all 12 cases.
- A separate AI reviewer checked commit `343082a6` and found no blocking
issues. They reran the utility suite and compared 4,059 generated cases
plus 12 explicit null-parent cases with a row-by-row reference
implementation. Those checks include slices, chunked inputs, and
fixed-size lists.

SDK tests used base `07e626ec` with the existing compiled extension. The
broader Python run stopped after 474 passed and 23 skipped at
`test_local_module_outside_code_warns_at_registration` with
`ModuleNotFoundError`. That test also fails with the original vector
helper restored.

Repository-wide Ruff reports 49 lint errors and 11 files needing
formatting, all in untouched documentation examples. Full SDK
integration tests against current main require a newer native build and
have not been run.
