Review Comment:
   We need the message content to run following tests from ViewCatalogTests.
   1. renameViewTargetAlreadyExistsAsView
   2. renameViewTargetAlreadyExistsAsTable
   3. renameTableTargetAlreadyExistsAsView
   
   Instead of altering the error message , is it a good idea to add the checks 
as at line 
[350](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/9852/files#diff-3fdd21d335b598f5354de287be6a8830d78e381c89274f0d6bf85c4c9966b8f0R350)
   ```
   if (tableExists(to)) {
         throw new org.apache.iceberg.exceptions.AlreadyExistsException("Cannot 
rename %s to %s. Table already exists", from, to);
       }
   
       if (viewExists(to)) {
         throw new org.apache.iceberg.exceptions.AlreadyExistsException("Cannot 
rename %s to %s. View already exists", from, to);
       }
   ```
   
   we do have similar strategy for other catalogs.  Cost of this will be in 
every rename scenario it will make two hive calls. 
   But keeping with exception, these calls will be only made in error 
scenarios. 
   Please share your thoughts.
