Description

Move arrow-nightly CI to crossbow — currently there is a separate repo that builds our nightly binaries and hosts them (as well as hosts our distributed binaries, and builds nightly docs). We should move (some of) this under apache/arrow now that we can. Specifically, the GHA that builds the binaries.

If we wanted to get fancy we could also use a parameterized/manually triggered GHA for our release builds.
