PyIceberg did not compress the Avro. This will make gzip/deflate the same as in Java.

I think little things like table property parsing has gotten us unexpectedly in the past - would it be possible to add a few cases that demonstrate:
- that the newly written manifests now have the new default compression when a new snapshot is committed?
- and that newly written manifests respect a compression codec value when the property is set, when a new snapshot is committed?
I think this would help us add coverage for the new parameter both in property parsing and the simple logic here in update.snapshots module in each functions

That's a good point @sungwy, and indeed that caught us in the past. I've added the test that you suggested, let me know what you think 👍

# Rationale for this change PyIceberg did not compress the Avro. This will make gzip/deflate the same as in Java. # Are these changes tested? Existing round-trip tests with FastAvro and Spark. Some tests are extended to both write compressed and uncompressed data. # Are there any user-facing changes? Smaller and faster manifest files :) <!-- In the case of user-facing changes, please add the changelog label. -->
