Review Comment:
   I'm okay with any name changes, also mentioned in the PR desc cuz I know 
`ServiceIdentityFactory` probably it's not a good name :).
   
   For `discoverServiceIdentity`, previously we use `assignServiceIdentity` 
which is almost the same as the `allocateServiceIdentity`.
   
   > 1. rename discoverServiceIdentity() to 
allocateServiceIdentity(ConnectionConfigInfo)
   
   Is there a reason we'd want to pass in ConnectionConfigInfo specifically? 
The long-term goal is to use the same interface for assigning service identity 
across both storage config and connection config, so I'd like to keep it 
generic if possible. But If we want to pass in the `ConnectionConfigInfo`, we 
can just return a `ConnectionConfigInfo` with the injected service identity 
directly.
   
   > 2. update javadoc to clarify that different (or same) 
ServiceIdentityInfoDpo data may be produced in each call.
   
   I have included it in the class level javadoc, but I can add more for this 
interface specifically.
   ```
    <p>In a multi-tenant Polaris deployment, each catalog or tenant may be 
associated with a distinct
    * service identity that represents the Polaris service itself when 
accessing external systems
    * (e.g., cloud services like AWS or GCP). This registry provides a central 
mechanism to manage
    * those identities and resolve them at runtime.
   ```
   
   > 3. rename ServiceIdentityRegistry to ServiceIdentityFactory (just for 
clarity)
   
   Totally open to better naming suggestions here. Personally, I prefer to use 
`ServiceIdentityProvider`, WDYT?
   
   > 4. move resolveServiceIdentity() to 
ServiceCredentialsResolver.obtainServiceCredentials() (new interface)
   > 5. make obtainServiceCredentials(ServiceIdentityInfoDpo) return 
EnumMap<ConnectionCredentialProperty, String> (or a simple wrapper object for 
it).
   
   I don’t think this separation works well. As I mentioned in the 
[comment](https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/2523#discussion_r2380608969), 
   
   `ServiceIdentityRegistry` should own both allocation and resolution of 
service identities. `PolarisCredentialManager` is the class responsible for 
obtaining temporary credentials (by assuming user-provided roles), so 
`PolarisCredentialManager` will contain many cloud specific logic, but it will 
return a creds map for abstraction. Mixing those responsibilities across the 
two classes would blur the boundaries.
   
   Long-term, the split I'm envisioning is:
     * `ServiceIdentityRegistry`: manage allocation & resolution of service 
identities.
     * `PolarisCredentialManager`: handle fetching temp credentials to access 
remote catalogs.
