Add compaction strategy as a iceberg table property

[akhilyendluri]

Feature Request / Improvement

Currently, compaction strategy is set via a getter field in the rewriteDataFilesSparkAction. Allowing a table property to set the type of compaction strategy can help all vendors providing automatic compaction to read this field and allow a more hands off approach. This allows the Apache Iceberg table metadata to be the source of truth. Currently, min-input-files, target-file-size, etc can all be set in the table as a property. Allowing this too will be useful.
