[Dev][Python] Unused python scripts under python/scripts #49046
Description
Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
We have two scripts under python/scripts which doesn't seem used nor documented:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/0e9e32fc231a81552fac4818ab7c671ca04dabec/python/scripts/test_leak.py
and
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/0e9e32fc231a81552fac4818ab7c671ca04dabec/python/scripts/test_imports.py
I think test_imports.py can be removed. test_leak.py can potentially be useful as a snippet on how to check for possible leaks but if we want to keep it we should probably document it.

@pitrou @AlenkaF those seem to be related to some ancient tests and are isolated from our test structure. Do you know if those are used or are useful to keep?

I would probably remove them.
