[C++] DictionaryArray::dictionary() is not thread safe #36503

Description

@bkietz

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

DictionaryArray::dictionary() lazily initalizes an Array to wrap its ArrayData::dictionary, but does not explicitly synchronize this so another thread which happens to call the same array's dictionary() function would introduce a data race.

StructArray::field() does similar lazy initialization but does synchronize, so it should be usable as a reference for fixing this.
