Review Comment:
   With current changes in PR, there is one side-effect. In Case 2 & 3 
mentioned above, the extra properties added in getTable, 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/52bfbdc0b03bafb610efde8486a6633be2b9cc4f/flink/v1.20/flink/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/flink/FlinkCatalog.java#L339-L344
 will be added as Table properties in destination table. Looking into nicer 
ways to avoid that. An option can be to add an extraProperty like say , 
createtabletype -> like in getTable , which can be used to differentiate the 
way table is being created.
