Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
Sort compact only supports write-only mode, during which expiration operations are not performed. When users write data in write-only mode and use sort compact for sorting and merging, expired deletion cannot be executed.
### Solution
Add an option to force expiration.
### Anything else?

Research direction
Start by tracing sort compact and its write-only mode, then locate how expiration operations are currently triggered. Define where the new force-expiration option belongs and verify that enabling it performs expired deletion during sorting and merging in write-only mode.
