CreateEmptyTable

Create an empty table (metadata only) without touching storage.

Description

      description: |
        Create an empty table with the given name without touching storage.
        This is a metadata-only operation that records the table existence and sets up aspects like access control.

        For DirectoryNamespace implementation, this creates a `.lance-reserved` file in the table directory
        to mark the table's existence without creating actual Lance data files.
