ARROW-12686: [C++][Python][FlightRPC] Convert Flight reader into a regular reader

This provides compatibility with APIs that expect regular RecordBatchReaders, e.g. exporting via the C Data Interface. The Flight interface itself cannot implement RecordBatchReader because getting the schema is not an infallible operation.

Closes #10267 from lidavidm/arrow-12686
