[Feat] Support Date and List standard data type for GraphAr

[acezen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a graph format , GraphAr supports a variety of data types, including strings, numbers, and booleans. However, it does not currently support the Date and List standard data types. This issue proposes adding support for these data types to GraphAr.

Adding support for Date and Array would make GraphAr a more versatile. It would allow users to store and query dates and arrays, which are common data types in many graph database and system.

Describe the solution you'd like
The Date could use int32 or int64 to represent. Just unify it in parquet and orc;
And the List could be use parquet's BYTE_ARRAY and ORC's list;

The serialization and deserialization strategy should be define for the Data and List type.

Additional context
This issue is a part of issue #76 and is a good first issue for beginners to get familiar with GraphAr.
