Description

I use toolchain directories that are found outside of conda environments. It's a bit awkward to use archery to do benchmark comparisons with this arrangement. I suggest adding a "--cpp-package-prefix" option or similar that will set ARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=SYSTEM and the correct ARROW_PACKAGE_PREFIX so this works properly
