[Java][Linux] Enable GCS for Arrow Dataset

[henrymai]

Describe the enhancement requested

Enable GCS support in Arrow Dataset for Java.

Currently we are using our own custom Arrow Dataset build with GCS turned on, but we would rather this be enabled in the official releases from Arrow.

GCS support is already enabled for cpp, python, ruby, python, and r already, so there should be no reason not to enable this on java as well.

Component(s)

Java

Any chance this can be in 12.0.0 milestone since it was merged on 4/20/2023 (which looks like the deadline for 12.0.0)?

I noticed that there are even other issues that were closed even later than this one that made it into 12.0.0 here: https://github.com/apache/arrow/milestone/51?closed=1

It's too late for 12.0.0. :<
12.0.0 is in the "feature freeze" phase:

https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/developers/release.html#creating-a-release-candidate

We have implemented a Feature Freeze policy between Release Candidates. This means that, in general, we should only add bug fixes between Release Candidates. In rare cases, critical features can be added between Release Candidates, if there is community consensus.

Alright, no problem. Thanks.
