Implement TableCatalog.createTableLike (added in Spark 4.2) for Iceberg's Spark catalogs so CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ... creates an Iceberg table from an existing one. The new table clones the source table's schema, partition spec, sort order, and user-set table properties; user-specified TBLPROPERTIES and LOCATION take precedence. Snapshots, data, and the source location are not copied.
