Integrate ClickHouse with Iceberg REST Catalog

Integrate with Iceberg REST Catalog: a new database engine, named Iceberg, which plugs the whole catalog into ClickHouse. #71542 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Introduces a new database engine called Iceberg that integrates the Iceberg REST Catalog directly into ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature enables ClickHouse users to seamlessly access and manage Iceberg tables via the Iceberg REST Catalog, providing unified catalog integration and simplifying data infrastructure by allowing ClickHouse to interact with Iceberg-managed metadata and tables.

How to use it

To use this feature, create a database in ClickHouse using the Iceberg engine and configure it to connect to the Iceberg REST Catalog. This allows queries against Iceberg tables through ClickHouse transparently.
