Context: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/pull/2442#discussion_r3231267052

`pyiceberg[pyarrow]` currently installs both `pyarrow` and `pyiceberg-core`. This is too broad: most Arrow read/write paths only need `pyarrow`, while `pyiceberg-core` is only used in lazy, feature-specific code paths (native transform kernels, DataFusion table provider).

It also creates a packaging cycle for downstream projects: `pyiceberg-core` cannot depend on `pyiceberg[pyarrow]` without re-installing itself through the extra.
