Review comment:
       We have two choice when a a conflict is detected:
   1. to rename the existing void transform, that will significant add 
complexity to [the check 
method](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/35691728df3b6930045271b1e5663c8516b52301/api/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/PartitionSpec.java#L339),
 just to find which void transform conflict with the current added transform.
   2. to rename the new transform, that will either broke default partition 
name consistency, or change the name assigned by user
