   Rename ExternalCatalogFactory to FederatedCatalogFactory because "external 
catalog" is a broader concept than what this interface represents. An external 
catalog can be either:
   
     1. A federated catalog โ€” Polaris connects to a remote catalog service 
(Iceberg REST, Hive, Hadoop) and delegates operations to it via a 
ConnectionConfigInfo.
     2. A notification-synced catalog โ€” Polaris manages tables locally that are 
synced via the notification API, with no remote connection involved.
   
     This factory interface only applies to the first case: it takes a 
ConnectionConfigInfoDpo and creates a remote catalog handle. Naming it 
ExternalCatalogFactory incorrectly implies
      it covers all external catalog types. FederatedCatalogFactory makes the 
scope clear and is consistent with its existing implementations 
(HiveFederatedCatalogFactory,
     HadoopFederatedCatalogFactory).
