MultiIndex.from_arrays() does not check lenghts

See original GitHub issue

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

In [2]: pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([[1,2,3], ['a', 'b']])
Out[2]: 
MultiIndex(levels=[[1, 2, 3], ['a', 'b']],
           labels=[[0, 1, 2], [0, 1]])

In [3]: pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([[1,2,3], ['a', 'b']]).values
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

    552             values.append(taken)
    553 
--> 554         self._tuples = lib.fast_zip(values)
    555         return self._tuples
    556

    588         if len(arr) != n:

    590 
    591         for i in range(n):

ValueError: all arrays must be same length

Expected Output

The first previous command should already raise an error.

output of `pd.show_versions()`


In [4]: pd.show_versions()
