Review Comment:
To @lidavidm:
> Hmm, do we want a table to be able to do I/O, or should it effectively be
a POD (albeit not actually a POD)?
I believe we have to support I/O at least to parse metadata file. See my
comment at
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-cpp/pull/30#pullrequestreview-2710525598.
> I was thinking Table would be a wrapper around already-parsed data, and so
to refresh the table, you'd just load the table again
I think we can still define an abstract `Table` class. A subclass
`StaticTable` accepts a deserialized `TableMetadata` and
`StaticTable::Refresh()` is a no-op.
We still need the Table abstraction for catalog-backed tables and metadata
tables.
To @Fokko:
> In PyIceberg, the Table also has a reference back to the catalog, which
makes it easier to refresh the underlying TableMetadata.
That makes sense! We can add a `CatalogTable` to implement a catalog-backed
table.
