Description

Some vectors have their own implementations of copyFrom and copyFromSafe methods. 

Since we have extracted the copyFrom and copyFromSafe methods to the base interface (see ARROW-6021), we want all vectors' implementations to override the methods from the super interface.

This will provide a unified way of copying data elements.
