Optimized length and bit_length kernels for better performance.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 1668107457389320346 started by @Dandandan

This patch optimizes the `length` and `bit_length` kernels in the `arrow-string` crate by:
1. Replacing `offsets.windows(2)` with a `.zip()` of slice iterators in `length_impl` and `bit_length_impl`. This enables better vectorization by leveraging `TrustedLen`.
2. Using `ScalarBuffer::from_iter` for more idiomatic and efficient buffer creation, avoiding unnecessary intermediate `Vec` collections.
3. Applying similar optimizations to `Utf8View`, `BinaryView`, `FixedSizeBinary`, and `FixedSizeList` handling.

Performance Impact:
- `length`: ~16.5% improvement (from 1.11 µs to 0.93 µs)
- `bit_length`: ~67% improvement (from 2.85 µs to 0.94 µs)

Verified with `cargo bench -p arrow --bench length_kernel` and `bit_length_kernel`.
All tests passed with `cargo test --workspace`.
