URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/2961


   We have discussed about this in the past community meeting. Initial PR to 
support tagging snapshots, so that in the future we can time travel or expire 
snapshots by tag.
   
   A tag will have a similar definition to the git commit tag, where:
   1. tag name is globally unique
   2. a tag can only be associated with one snapshot
   3. a snapshot can have multiple different tags
   
   This PR adds the tags interface in `Snapshot` and add `Map<String, Long> 
snapshotTags` in `TableMetadata` with is indexed based on the snapshots list. 
Subsequent PRs will be publsihed to add features to update tags, do time travel 
and snapshot expiration by tag after we agree on the approach here.
