API/DEPR: pd.array don't cast numpy int/float/bool arrays to nullable

[jbrockmendel]

We should inch towards making this match the other constructor behaviors. In particular, if you pass a numpy array with a numeric dtype, you should keep that dtype (or get the corresponding PandasDtype)

We're not going to do anything here until there is consensus that this is something we want to do.

I suggest looking for issues with the "good first issue"label.
