Please describe the bug 🐞

Hi,

Ray Data is using pyiceberg v0.10.0 and some users have noted that the BigQuery catalog implementation in pyiceberg doesn't support commit_table.

This is the associated stack trace:

/virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py", line 936, in commit_transaction
    self._table._do_commit(  # pylint: disable=W0212
  File "/tmp/ray/virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py", line 1458, in _do_commit
    response = self.catalog.commit_table(self, requirements, updates)
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/tmp/ray/virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyiceberg/catalog/bigquery_metastore.py", line 232, in commit_table
    raise NotImplementedError
NotImplementedError

Just curious if this is already in the process of being implemented?
