Description

As discussed here:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/13892#discussion_r963587046

We used to show information of where Arrow was being found during build:

  message(STATUS "Arrow version: ${ARROW_VERSION} (${ARROW_FIND_APPROACH})")
  message(STATUS "Arrow SO and ABI version: ${ARROW_SO_VERSION}")
  message(STATUS "Arrow full SO version: ${ARROW_FULL_SO_VERSION}")
  message(STATUS "Found the Arrow core shared library: ${ARROW_SHARED_LIB}")
  message(STATUS "Found the Arrow core import library: ${ARROW_IMPORT_LIB}")
  message(STATUS "Found the Arrow core static library: ${ARROW_STATIC_LIB}") 

We should  add back the messages to ArrowConfig.cmake.in.

As proposed on the comment if we want to add message(STATUS ...), it's better that we check Arrow_FIND_QUIETLY like:

if(NOT Arrow_FIND_QUIETLY)
  message(STATUS ...)
endif()

Arrow_FIND_QUIETLY is TRUE only when an user specify QUIET explicitly like find_package(Arrow QUIET).
