Description

### Search before asking

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

### Motivation

Apache Iceberg supports AWS Glue & AWS Lake Formation to manage tables & permissions centrally and more easily than on the S3 level with IAM policies.

Can we get AWS Glue & Lake Formation support for Paimon metadata? This would make it easier to use Paimon in AWS ecosystems, including integrating with Athena for querying Paimon tables in the future.

### Solution

We already support AWS Glue in Apache Paimon for the Iceberg-compatibility layer.
Currently, we need to build and configure an external client: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-glue-data-catalog-client-for-apache-hive-metastore/tree/branch-3.4.0

Maybe we can port some of the AWS/Iceberg code to Paimon, including [GlueCatalog](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/aws/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/aws/glue/GlueCatalog.java) and [LakeFormationAwsClientFactory](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/aws/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/aws/lakeformation/LakeFormationAwsClientFactory).

Research direction

Start by reviewing Paimon's existing AWS Glue support in the Iceberg-compatibility layer and the external AWS Glue Hive metastore client linked in the issue. Compare that behavior with Iceberg's GlueCatalog and LakeFormationAwsClientFactory references. Done means Paimon supports AWS Glue metadata and Lake Formation permissions without requiring the external client.
