Should we add an option to write gzipped metadata?

I think it makes sense to support writing gzipped metadata, however I would prefer that be implemented separately as an improvement/feature. This fix will unblock me in the short term. |

Followup to #610 ; add write support for gzipped table metadata. Behavior is optional and enabled when table property `write.metadata.compression-codec` is set to `gzip`

This PR adds support for gzipped metadata json files.
While the spec (linked above) implies
.gz.metadata.jsonis the standard, it mentions that the java implementation also supports readingmetadata.json.gz. As written, this PR supports both, but I will defer to your guidance. FWIW, pyiceberg only supports.gz.metadata.json.
