Description

Link times are a significant drag in MSVC builds. They don't affect Linux nearly as much when building with Ninja. I suggest we combine some of the fast-running tests within logical units to see if we can cut down from 106 test executables to 70 or so

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 107
Label Time Summary:
arrow-tests           =  21.19 sec*proc (48 tests)
arrow_python-tests    =   0.26 sec*proc (1 test)
example               =   0.05 sec*proc (1 test)
gandiva-tests         =  11.65 sec*proc (39 tests)
parquet-tests         =  35.81 sec*proc (18 tests)
unittest              =  68.92 sec*proc (106 tests)
