 Review comment:
   I think access control/authorization is orthogonal to this problem.
   
   I'd argue that we probably should allow some types of catalog to be readable 
only, and we just don't enter data into them but only read data from them. With 
the example of Confluent Registry, it has really nice features such as fancy 
UI, schema evolution, compatibility check, etc. If users are already using that 
to manage their kafka schemas, why would they wanna use something else that 
don't support all these features or not natively? Support writing in Flink's 
Registry Catalog would be vain IMHO.
   
   The `registerTable` is a part of `TableEnvironment` in the example. With the 
use case above in mind, having only a`Catalog` interface and letting a catalog 
implement 13+ methods (the # can grow) that it doesn't support seem to be not a 
good design.
   
   I wonder whether we should add a 
`CatalogManager#getReadableWritableCatalog()` API, which can perform checks in 
side and `TableEnvironment` won't worry about checks anymore.
