Review comment:
       I should also note that support for adding/removing/renaming columns 
cannot be done by comparing `CatalogTable` instances, unless the Flink schema 
contains Iceberg column IDs.
   
   The problem is clear when you consider a simple example:
   * Iceberg table schema: `id bigint, a float, b float`
   * Flink table schema: `id bigint, x float, y float`
   
   There are two ways to get the Flink schema: rename a -> x and b -> y, or 
drop a, drop b, add x, add y. Guessing which one was intended by the user is 
not okay because it would corrupt data. If the values from a are read when 
projecting x after a was actually dropped, then this is a serious correctness 
bug.
   
   Also note that there are some transformations that can't be detected. For 
example, drop a then add a. The result should be that all values of column a 
are discarded. This happens when the wrong data was written to a column but the 
column is still needed for newer data.
