Description
### Search before asking
- [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/fluss/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Description
Currently, we use `DynamicTemporaryOssCredentialsProvider` in client to access oss which will retrieve token from server.
Also, in the future, we may introduce a new `CredentialsProvider` like `TokenFileBasedCredentialsProvider` in server side which causes it harder to distinguish them.
Also, we have `OSSSecurityTokenProvider` which is used in server to obtain sts token from oss token endpoint.
But the naming is not intuitive. We should have a more intuitive name to distinguish them.

Research direction
Start by tracing the client-side DynamicTemporaryOssCredentialsProvider and the server-side OSSSecurityTokenProvider, then inspect how CredentialsProvider is used across client and server. Clarify an intuitive naming scheme that distinguishes these providers and update all affected references; done means the credential and token roles are unambiguous throughout the Filesystem code.
