This PR switches new tables to use the V2 format by default, as discussed on the dev [list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/n21ojvn0go5yvky06cyw2yrlhx77x7mm). The purpose of this change is to avoid some workarounds in the V1 format that may impact the user experience for anyone starting with Iceberg. In particular, v1 tables use always null transforms during spec evolution (confusing) and require a flag to enable snapshot ID inheritance (performance). Note that V2 tables without delete files (disabled by default) should be no different than V1 tables. If there are engines that don't support V2 tables, they should modify their logic to check for presence of delete files instead. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
