Description

For some reason, on Linux Parquet tests are now statically linked with libparquet and libarrow by default, even though other tests (Arrow, Plasma...) are dynamically-linked.

For example:

$ ldd build-test/debug/parquet-schema-test 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd376ad000)
	libgtest_main.so => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libgtest_main.so (0x00007f3affeaf000)
	libgtest.so => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libgtest.so (0x00007f3affde5000)
	libbz2.so.1.0 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 (0x00007f3affdd1000)
	liblz4.so.1 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/liblz4.so.1 (0x00007f3aff58d000)
	libsnappy.so.1 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libsnappy.so.1 (0x00007f3aff384000)
	libz.so.1 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f3affdb1000)
	libzstd.so.1.3.7 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libzstd.so.1.3.7 (0x00007f3affd0a000)

	libstdc++.so.6 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f3afeff4000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f3afec56000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f3affcbb000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3afe865000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f3afe646000)
	libboost_system.so.1.67.0 => /home/antoine/miniconda3/envs/pyarrow/lib/./libboost_system.so.1.67.0 (0x00007f3afe441000)

Static linking makes building slower and the test executables larger.
