Review Comment:
   Just one more suggestion here @amitgilad3 - should we make this behavior the 
default, but have a boolean flag available to disable it in the `add_files` API?
   
   A similar [spark 
procedure](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.5.1/spark-procedures/#add_files) 
has an equivalent flag `check_duplicate_files` and I feel that it could be 
useful because inspecting the files table requires us to read all of the active 
manifest files. If the user already knows that they won't be running into this 
issue, I think it would be useful for them to be able to disable this check.
