Unify XML and SQL Collection Behavior in Kafka Storage

Unify XML and SQL created named collection behaviour in Kafka storage. #59710 (Pervakov Grigorii).
Unify the behavior of named collections created via XML configuration and SQL commands in Kafka table engine storage.

Why it matters

This feature resolves inconsistencies between how named collections are defined and managed when created through XML configuration files versus SQL statements for Kafka storage. By unifying these behaviors, users benefit from a consistent and predictable configuration experience regardless of the creation method.

How to use it

Users can create or manage named collections for Kafka storage tables either by defining them in the XML configuration or by using SQL commands, with both methods now exhibiting unified and consistent behavior.
