   ### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   Today, the auxiliary table is managed (created, full-refreshed, etc.) during 
flow execution. For SCD1 this is functionally correct but is poor timing. The 
auxiliary table should be managed side-by-side with the target table that it is 
a companion to, and table-level validations for the AutoCDC auxiliary table 
(ex. key/scd type drifts) should happen well before flow execution.
   
   For SCD2 which is coming soon, the existing control flow is incompatible. 
SCD2 auxiliary tables will contain data columns (SCD1 auxiliary tables only 
contain keys columns + CDC metadata column), and therefore will actually need 
to undergo schema evolution the same way that target tables do.
   
   The proposal here is to refactor the auxiliary table management such that 
DatasetManager recognizes the general concept of an auxiliary table, and manage 
full-refresh/schema evolution/catalog table validations along side the target 
table it companions. 
   
   We should no longer be materializing or validating tables during flow 
execution.
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   Refactor lifecycle management to `DatasetManager` for better control flow 
for SCD1, and necessary for schema evolution of auxiliary table for SCD2 (which 
will be introduced in a future PR).
   
   
   ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
   Validation now happens earlier and during dataset materialization, rather 
than during flow execution. The validations themselves remain unchanged, and 
one new validation for SCD-type change was introduced in preparation for SCD2 
flows.
   
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.

how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.
   If benchmark tests were added, please run the benchmarks in GitHub Actions 
for the consistent environment, and the instructions could accord to:
