Part of stackabletech/hive-operator#678

Creating a namespace through the HMS-embedded Iceberg REST catalog failed with "Warehouse location is not set: hive.metastore.warehouse.external.dir=null" when only hive.metastore.warehouse.dir was set. HMS itself falls back to the managed warehouse in that case, Hive's copy of the Iceberg HiveCatalog does not.

The patch adds that fallback and backports the HiveCatalog part of HIVE-29461, so metastore.warehouse.external.dir (without the hive. prefix) is honored as well. Applies to 4.2.0 and 4.2.1.
