Description

Part of #599.

Allow IcebergDataSource to accept physical filter pushdown. Simple static predicates should be the first target; dynamic filters may need more work.

Essentially, implementing this TODO comment in the code:

https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-distributed/blob/72203a0faf105ca9c6d5775a184ca4e1e1cd79d1/iceberg/src/data_source.rs#L284-L288

Research direction

Start with the TODO at iceberg/src/data_source.rs around lines 284-288 and read the surrounding IcebergDataSource implementation. Trace how DataFusion represents physical predicates, beginning with simple static filters; dynamic filters are explicitly a later consideration. Done means IcebergDataSource accepts and applies the intended static filter pushdown, with the relevant test suite passing.
