Description

When building the new wheels for Python 3.11 I had to modify the version of numpy manually only on python/requirements-wheel-test.txt. See: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14499

We are using `oldest-supported-numpy` everywhere else so I think this could be refactored to simplify the requirements-wheel-test.txt file.

I am opening this ticket as a follow up from this conversation: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14499/files#r1005619591 See other PRs comment like a proposed patch and test failures as an initial investigation.
