### What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #66516

Related PR: #68349

Problem Summary:

Lance catalogs are currently read-only from Doris. This PR adds DDL
support backed by the Lance Namespace API for both filesystem and REST
catalogs.

This PR retargets the original branch-4.1 PR to branch-4.2 because
branch-4.1 is code frozen.

- Add create/drop namespace operations, including FORCE semantics and
root-namespace protection.
- Add create/drop/rename table operations and ENGINE=LANCE / SHOW CREATE
TABLE support.
- Convert Doris schemas to Arrow and create empty Lance datasets through
Arrow IPC.
- Add top-level ADD, MODIFY, RENAME, and DROP COLUMN schema evolution.
- Refresh Doris metadata, schema caches, and the upstream Lance
table-access cache after successful mutations.
- Reject unsupported defaults, positions, comments, complex type
changes, nested paths, and multi-clause schema changes explicitly.

The current Lance Java SDK does not implement explicit
backfill/virtual-column operations for DirectoryNamespace or
RestNamespace, so this PR exposes only operations that the pinned SDK
can execute reliably and documents that limitation.

### Release note

Support namespace, table, and top-level column DDL for Lance external
catalogs.

### Test Plan

- Compile the FE reactor against JDK 17.
- Run focused Lance DDL, type conversion, namespace mutation, metadata
cache, and ALTER TABLE command tests.
- Run Checkstyle and Markdownlint.
- Add a filesystem regression suite covering successful DDL and
unsupported operations.

### Test Result

- FE reactor compilation: passed.
- 65 focused unit tests: passed.
- Checkstyle: passed with 0 violations.
- Markdownlint for docs/lance-ddl.md: passed.
- The Doris + MinIO regression suite was added but not executed locally
because this environment does not provide that cluster.
