Review Comment:
   @ayushtkn 
   The code block is responsible for transforming created iceberg table which 
has no `external` keyword  to external table, and then the iceberg location 
will always go to external WH location. 
   
   The change is in line with 
`MetastoreDefaultTransformer::transformCreateTable`:
