### Feature Request / Improvement
Today you have to pass in an instance of the transform:
```python
with tbl.update_spec() as upd:
upd.add_field("tpep_pickup_datetime", DayTransform())
```
Instead, I think it would be great to also pass in the
[name](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#partition-transforms):
```
with tbl.update_spec() as upd:
upd.add_field("tpep_pickup_datetime", "day")
```
This should be pretty straightforward using the [`parse_transform`
function](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/5c4e59fca083d39dcd18305628a7e75674c0c1f6/pyiceberg/transforms.py#L114-L134).
