URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/8746

   ### Apache Iceberg version

   ### Please describe the bug 🐞
   
   The [Iceberg spec mandates which fields to be present in Manifest 
files](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#:~:text=A%20manifest%20file%20must%20store%20the%20partition%20spec%20and%20other%20metadata%20as%20properties%20in%20the%20Avro%20file%E2%80%99s%20key%2Dvalue%20metadata%3A).
   
   Yet, the spec does not mandate which fields to be present in ManifestList 
files, which seems to be an inconsistent oversight.
   
   The implementation does write a bunch of fields for ManifestList:
   
   * format-version
   * snapshot-id
   * parent-snapshot-id
   * sequence-number (v2 only)
   
   Suggestion:
   Create a table for ManifestList in the spec, akin to the table for Manifest, 
and list the entries written by the implementation.
