Purpose
Linked issue: close #7068
Handles fieldId incompatibility between Paimon (starts at 0) and Iceberg (starts at 1).
Iceberg REST schema creation shifts all fieldIds by +1, causing field disorder. While schemas can be updated post-creation to start at fieldId 0, creating an empty schema first triggers partition evolution issues that break some query engines, making them believe the partition has evolved and that queries must account for this.
Strategy based on partition field position in the schema:
Tests
