Research direction

Start at the implementation of table.to_polars() and trace how it invokes Polars' lazy read path. Check the Polars scan_iceberg documentation linked in the issue for the storage_options interface. Done means callers can provide storage_options through table.to_polars() and the option reaches the lazy read operation, with relevant tests updated or added.

Description

Feature Request / Improvement

I was not able to use the table.to_polars() method because there is no option to include a storage_options param which is mentioned in the polars docs.
