Extending Polaris to Support Transactions

Summary: Extends Polaris from read-only analytics to full ACID transactions for Tier-1 warehousing (updates/inserts/deletes/bulk loads) with strong performance. Leverages immutable log-structured storage and SQL Server transaction management to enable multi-table, multi-statement transactions with Snapshot Isolation in Microsoft Fabric, unifying query processing and T-SQL.
