Description

### Search before asking

- [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/fluss/issues) and found nothing similar.

### Motivation

**Part of umbrella issue #2007 - Phase 1: External RPCs**

Add authorization checks for snapshot read operations:
- `getLatestKvSnapshots` - TABLE/DESCRIBE
- `getKvSnapshotMetadata` - TABLE/DESCRIBE
- `getLatestLakeSnapshot` - TABLE/DESCRIBE

These are client-facing snapshot metadata operations that need authorization to
prevent unauthorized access to snapshot information.

Research direction

Locate the server entry points for getLatestKvSnapshots, getKvSnapshotMetadata, and getLatestLakeSnapshot, then read the authorization handling for related external RPCs. Add TABLE/DESCRIBE checks to these three snapshot read operations and verify that authorized and unauthorized requests behave as intended.
