Description

Followup to ARROW-9856. Use list_compute_functions (added here) to make all Arrow C++ compute functions available directly by name (in case you want to use the non-checked arithmetic, or an ascii specific kernel, or something without a natural R analogue). Will require a bit more refactoring to handle variable numbers of args, as well as some additional options handling.
