Review Comment:
   I think we are trying to fix this problem at a wrong level. I feel Spark 
logic should be as follows:
   
   - Load Iceberg table if possible. If not possible, it is OK.
   - Call icebergCatalog.drop(ident, false) to drop the pointer no matter 
whether the first step was successful.
   - If Iceberg table is not null and metadata file still exists, call the 
cleanup action.
   
   All we would need to do is to adapt our Iceberg catalog implementations to 
drop pointers even if the metadata file does not exist. That's where we can 
check if the catalog entry seems like an Iceberg table.
