Feature Request / Improvement

Hello All,

First of all, apologies as I am not very experienced with PyIceberg.

I currently have a Java application that "manually" updates table metadata and can add new files if they don't exist and replace older files if they already do. This guarantees that, as long as the file names are fixed, I should not have duplicates.

In Java, I use deleteFile and then addFile.

In PyIceberg, I can Add Files, but I don't see options to "Delete Files" or overwrite.

Is delete_files() a feature that you could add?
