REF/API: Move ArrowDtype(pa.foo_string()) into StringDtype(...) #62129

Description

This came up when reviewing #62118. There are too many StringDtypes and FooStringArrays. Apparently pd.ArrowDtype can accommodate some specific types of pyarrow strings that StringDtype(storage="pyarrow") cannot. I propose that we

  1. Extend pd.StringDtype (and ArrowStringArray) to allow it to support the specific variants of pyarrow strings we want to support
  2. Deprecate support for those in ArrowDtype/ArrowEA, moving users to the StringArray.
  3. Try to refactor all the FooStringArray variants down to just one StringArray.
