Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
When I have three tables tablea_1, tablea_2, tableb in a database and I use flink database sync, I hope to merge tablea_1 tablea_2 into one paimon table.
### Solution
Add configuration in Synchronizing Databases for full database synchronization
`--merge_tables='tablea_1|tablea_2'`
`--paimon_merge_table_name = 'tablea'`

Research direction
Start by locating the Flink database sync action and the “Synchronizing Databases” configuration described in the issue. Determine how merging tablea_1 and tablea_2 into the configured tablea should be represented, and verify that the requested configuration works without changing unrelated tables.
