Review Comment:
   I found https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/3188#discussion_r748303084 
this thread on the original spec proposal, and then for view representation 
case there was 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4925#discussion_r1015649887. 
   
   So based on these two I don't think it's required that it's optional? I 
think it's just a convenience to avoid an engine having to pass in a schema at 
the time of view creation. Based on the second link it seems there is some 
complexity related to aliasing but if we store the pre-aliased schema that 
should be sufficient, the post alias columns can be subsequently derived.
   
   Schema handling will probably be a focal point around the view spec so it's 
important we get this right as we try and conclude this implementation. Right 
now schemaID in `SQLViewRepresentation` is optional. Maybe we revisit this, and 
make schemaID at the version level, since I think all representations should 
have the same Iceberg schema. 
   
   Would love to get others thoughts here.
