Research direction

Read the BatchCoalescer benchmarks and the related issues #11718, #11719, and #11720 to follow the existing benchmark conventions. Add filter, take, and interleave benchmarks for Boolean, dictionary, and run-end encoded arrays. Done when these cases can measure the specialized implementations against the generic concat path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Boolean, dictionary, and run-end encoded arrays currently use the generic concat path in BatchCoalescer.

Add filter, take, and interleave benchmarks so specialized implementations for #11718, #11719, and #11720 can be measured.
