Matthew Roeschke 38efbf78a6 GH-50431: [Python] Make FlightError a non-cdef class for abi3 wheel precursor (#50427)
### Rationale for this change

Towards https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/50398

closes https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/50431

### What changes are included in this PR?

This is an agent generated PR that makes `FlightError` a non-cdef subclass of `Exception` as Cython does not support building with the Limited API and cdef classes that inherit from Python classes.

It appears before a `cdef CStatus to_status` was defined on each subclass to return a `MakeFlightError` per flight error flavor. This was pull out to a dedicated `_flight_error_to_status` function instead.

### Are these changes tested?

Yes (via existing tests?)

### Are there any user-facing changes?

No

Python library for Apache Arrow

pypi conda-forge

This library provides a Python API for functionality provided by the Arrow C++ libraries, along with tools for Arrow integration and interoperability with pandas, NumPy, and other software in the Python ecosystem.

Installing

Across platforms, you can install a recent version of pyarrow with the conda package manager:

conda install pyarrow -c conda-forge

On Linux, macOS, and Windows, you can also install binary wheels from PyPI with pip:

pip install pyarrow

If you encounter any issues importing the pip wheels on Windows, you may need to install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio.
