Support location provider API similar to Java and Python implementation #2560

Description

@dannycjones

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

The location provider APIs allow consumers to customize how the Iceberg library chooses the path of new files/objects. In this way, consumers can introduce things like alternative sources of entropy, etc..

Similar feature request in iceberg-python: apache/iceberg-python#861

Describe the solution you'd like

Introduction of a LocationProvider trait which consumers can define. We should identify where to introduce the configuration of this, similar to the way the Storage trait works (if not an extension of it in some way).
