Description

Part of #599.

Allow DataFusion catalog DDL to create and drop Iceberg tables through an Iceberg-backed schema provider.

Upstream creates and drops catalog tables from SchemaProvider here:

https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/blob/f28ae7dca60904a5f135f3b6eecb03b09032b581/crates/integrations/datafusion/src/schema.rs#L144-L215

This depends on catalog and schema provider support.

Research direction

Start with the upstream iceberg-rust DataFusion integration in crates/integrations/datafusion/src/schema.rs, especially the SchemaProvider catalog table operations referenced in the issue. Trace the repository's Iceberg-backed catalog and schema provider support, then verify that DataFusion catalog DDL can create and drop Iceberg tables.
