### What would you like to happen? When writing data with BigQueryIO using `BigQueryIO.Write.Method.STORAGE_API_AT_LEAST_ONCE` or `BigQueryIO.Write.Method.STORAGE_WRITE_API`, it would be very useful to be able to specify one or more `SchemaUpdateOption` values via `.withSchemaUpdateOptions`. Currently this only works for `BigQueryIO.Write.Method.FILE_LOADS`, which means that for other insert methods new fields are either ignored (if `ignoreUnknownValues` is set), or fail to insert. In our use case, we are streaming Avro records from Kafka to BigQuery, with the schema constantly changing (mostly new fields). Having BigQueryIO manage this would be a huge benefit. ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: io-java-gcp -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
