Add S3 Tables (Iceberg) API support

Implements the MinIO S3 Tables API for Iceberg table operations:
- TablesClient for managing warehouses, namespaces, and tables
- Full Iceberg REST catalog API support
- DataFusion integration for query pushdown (optional feature)
- Table scan planning and execution
- Advanced operations: commit, rename, multi-table transactions

+# DataFusion Integration Status
+
+Last updated: 2025-12-16
+
+## Overview
+
+The DataFusion integration is **production-ready for most use cases** with documented limitations below.
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+| Component | Status | Location |
+|-----------|--------|----------|
+| TableProvider | Complete | `src/s3tables/datafusion/table_provider.rs` |
+| Filter Translation | Complete (40+ operators) | `src/s3tables/datafusion/filter_translator.rs` |
+| ObjectStore | Complete | `src/s3tables/datafusion/object_store.rs` |
+| Partition Pruning | Complete | `src/s3tables/datafusion/partition_pruning.rs` |
+| Residual Filters | Complete | `src/s3tables/datafusion/residual_filter_exec.rs` |
+| Column Statistics | Complete | `src/s3tables/datafusion/column_statistics.rs` |
+
+## Known Bugs
+
+### 1. Regex Character Classes Incorrectly Handled
+
+- **Location**: `src/s3tables/datafusion/filter_translator.rs:1498`
+- **Severity**: Medium
+- **Status**: Known issue, test marked `#[ignore]`
+- **Description**: Character classes like `[0-9]` are incorrectly treated as exact literal matches instead of regex patterns
+- **Impact**: Complex regex patterns in WHERE clauses may produce incorrect filter pushdown
+- **Workaround**: Avoid character classes in regex patterns; use simpler patterns
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### 1. Async Query Planning NOT Supported
+
+- **Location**: `src/s3tables/datafusion/table_provider.rs:627-630`
+- **Severity**: High
+- **Status**: Not implemented
+- **Description**: When server returns `PlanningStatus::Submitted` (indicating async planning), the client returns an error instead of polling for completion
+- **Impact**: Large queries that trigger async planning on the server will fail
+- **Fix Required**: Implement polling infrastructure to wait for async planning completion
+
+### 2. LIMIT Clause: Client-Side Only (By Design)
+
+- **Location**: `src/s3tables/datafusion/table_provider.rs:554-568`
+- **Severity**: Low (optimization only)
+- **Status**: Implemented as client-side optimization
+- **Description**: The `limit` parameter is now passed through to DataFusion's execution plan for early termination. However, the **Iceberg REST API does NOT support server-side LIMIT pushdown**, so all matching files are still returned by `plan_table_scan()`.
+- **Impact**: DataFusion stops reading once enough rows are collected (client-side early termination), but the server still identifies all matching files.
+- **Workaround**: None needed - client-side optimization is automatic when using LIMIT clause
+- **Note**: Server-side LIMIT support would require changes to the Apache Iceberg REST API specification
+
+### 3. Unsupported Filter Expressions
+
+The following expression types cannot be pushed to the server:
+
+- Scalar functions (UPPER, LOWER, TRIM, etc.)
+- Aggregate functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, etc.)
+- Subqueries
+- Window functions
+- Complex nested function calls
+- Cast expressions (except in binary comparison context)
+
+These expressions become residual filters evaluated client-side.
+
+## Code Quality TODOs
+
+### 1. Clone Operation Investigation
+
+- **Location**: `src/s3tables/datafusion/object_store.rs:174`
+- **Priority**: Low
+- **Description**: Developer left TODO asking "why clone here?"
+- **Action**: Investigate if clone can be eliminated for performance
+
+## Documentation Gaps
+
+- [ ] Create architecture guide for DataFusion integration
+- [ ] Create troubleshooting guide for common issues
+- [ ] Document performance tuning recommendations
+- [ ] Add examples for complex query patterns
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+- **Unit tests**: 200+ tests covering filter translation, pushdown, residual handling
+- **Integration tests**: Feature-gated with `#[cfg(feature = "datafusion")]`
+- **Known gap**: Regex character class test marked `#[ignore]`
+
+## Version Compatibility
+
+- DataFusion: 51.0
+- Arrow: 57.1
+- Parquet: 57.1
+- object_store: 0.12
+
+## Feature Flag
+
+Enable DataFusion support with:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+minio = { version = "...", features = ["datafusion"] }
+```
+
+Or build with:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --features datafusion
+```
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+| Filter Selectivity | Expected Speedup | Data Reduction |
+|-------------------|------------------|----------------|
+| 10% pass rate | ~5x | 90% |
+| 50% pass rate | ~2x | 50% |
+| 90% pass rate | Minimal | 10% |
+
+## Priority Action Items
+
+1. **High**: Implement async query planning support (polling for `PlanningStatus::Submitted`)
+2. **Medium**: Fix regex character class pattern detection
+3. **Low**: Investigate clone optimization in object_store.rs
+
+## Recently Completed
+
+- **LIMIT clause optimization**: Client-side early termination now supported (2025-12-16)
+  - The `limit` parameter is passed through to DataFusion's ParquetExec
+  - DataFusion stops reading once enough rows are collected
+  - Note: Server-side LIMIT is not supported by Iceberg REST API specification
