Review Comment:
For some reason `IcebergCatalogHandler` is written to be semi-agnostic of
the underlying `Catalog` type and the code does not assume it's an
`IcebergCatalog` -- you can see this all over the place, where we do things
like:
```
this.viewCatalog = (baseCatalog instanceof ViewCatalog) ? (ViewCatalog)
baseCatalog : null;
```
We could add a case here where we check, similarly, if the underlying
catalog is an `IcebergCatalog` and then we can add a method to IcbergCatalog
for register/commit which goes through our own route and our own
TableOperations etc. As you note we'd also have to write our own `Table`, and
very quickly this starts to look like the refactor/rewrite discussed elsewhere.
tbh I'm happy to take that work on, but I wanted to see if we are OK with this
smaller patch in the interim.
