Description

### Search before asking

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

### Motivation

At present, Paimon doesn't support cherry-picks changes from a snapshot into current table state.

### Solution

We could support cherry-picks changes from a snapshot into current table state, which could create a new snapshot from an existing snapshot without altering or removing the original.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the table snapshot and current-state APIs, then determine how changes from an existing snapshot can be selected and applied without altering the original. Done means a new snapshot represents the cherry-picked changes and existing snapshots remain unchanged.
