[Feature Request]: Create a merge-on-read Iceberg sink #39979

What would you like to happen?

We have an append-only IcebergIO sink.

This is a request to extend the Iceberg sink so that it can receive CDC (insert, update, delete) records from an upstream source and apply them to an Iceberg table.
