Research direction

Start with the SigV4 implementation in pyiceberg/catalog/rest/init.py at lines 764-820 and compare the requested destination, pyiceberg/catalog/rest/sigv4.py. Read issues #3008 and #3120 for the retry and request-signing requirements. Done means the implementation is separated and those two referenced concerns are addressed.
