Description

https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/3096#issuecomment-444345068

I want to stop the current version sharing style. (Referring java/pom.xml from C++, Python, C, Ruby, ....)
It introduces complexity. For example, we generates version.rb dynamically to create a Ruby package: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/ruby/red-arrow/version.rb

I think that we can just replace all versions in cpp/CMakeLists.txt, python/setup.py, c_glib/configure.ac, ruby//lib//version.rb, rust/Cargo.toml, ... by sed in the release process.
