Review Comment:
   Yeah it's a good point. Right now before all the refactoring I guess the 
upper layer (PolarisMetaStoreManagerImpl) is the ultimate authority on the unit 
of durability, and a custom impl of the traditional `PolarisMetaStoreSession` 
might "enforce" this by having `ensureInWriteTransaction` barriers, for example 
(OpenCatalog does this in its custom metastore session impl).
   
   After this refactoring, I think it should be possible to unify under the 
semantic of "each method call is independently durable/committed", with the 
addition of the new atomicBatchConditionalWrite method (or whatever we call it).
   
   As it stands in this PR, after pushing down the `entitiesActive` and 
`entitiesChangeTracking` stuff, the vast majority of the functionality no 
longer truly depends on the external layer defining the durability unit as a 
transaction, so we just need to chip away a few more things.
   
   The main exceptions are called out in 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U9rprj8w8-Q0SnQvRMvoVlbX996z-89eOkVwWTQaZG0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.2cx2yoanf9c4
   
   - GrantRecords - we can sacrifice perfect "atomicity" in favor of slightly 
weaker but still good enough "happens-before" semantics, and just document the 
implications
   - Types that create external "integrations" and other peripheral entities 
(Catalogs, Principals, Drop -> Tasks) - also sacrifice atomicity in favor of 
multi-phase commit types of behaviors and/or happens-before guarantees.
