Issue #306 (Support writing to a branch)

First pass.
This PR

  • Update string literals ("main"/"branch"/"tag") to its corresponding constant. String literals in tests are left alone.
  • Default append and overwrite API to the "main" branch and pass the variable all the way down

self._snapshot_id = table.new_snapshot_id()
# Since we only support the main branch for now
self._branch = branch
self._parent_snapshot_id = snapshot.snapshot_id if (snapshot := self._table.current_snapshot()) else None

There is more involved than just setting the name of the branch. There we take the parent snapshot that's by default the parent of the current snapshot. The current snapshot is the HEAD of the main branch. Before adding this, I would love to see also some integration tests with Spark, and some tests that assert the snapshot-tree.

I love the changes, but before exposing this to the public through an API, we need to make sure that the behavior is correct.
