Can we also highlight the key SPI and internal-API changes that service
providers with custom plugins should be aware/reminded of at a glance?

In the future perhaps we can use a label or similar on SPI-evolution PRs to
better automate aggregating those changes, and also ideally also include
SPI changes as part of "proactive" CHANGELOG updates, possibly in a
different section from the other API/breaking-changes so that "vanilla"
Polaris users only need to look at changes to the public surface area,
while customized service-providers would benefit from the SPI evolution
section.

Also I'm a bit confused about how
https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/2329 "Make S3 roleARN optional"
works -- is it falling back to using the server-wide credentials? In any
case it needs to be FeatureConfiguration protected. It's also unclear how
it works when we still pass the empty roleArn into the AssumeRoleRequest.

I'll follow up on the thread about making roleARN optional, but in the
meantime for 1.1 purposes we should earmark 2329 as a potential revert
until further discussion.
