The ParquetWriter was only writing the iceberg.schema JSON into the Parquet footer key-value metadata (WriterProperties). Downstream readers like Snowflake also expect it in the Arrow schema metadata map, which is encoded in the ARROW:schema IPC section of the Parquet file.

Inject the iceberg.schema JSON into the Arrow schema metadata during writer initialization so it is present in both locations, matching the behavior of the Java Iceberg implementation.

Depends on #2249
