Table Operations: Added streaming update operation

This operation allows adding multiple consecutive update in a single commit without equality deletes from prior updates affecting inserts that occurred after it.

Before this commit you would  need to do something like this:
```
for batch in batches:
    delta = transaction.newRowDelta()
    delta.add(batch.deletes)
    delta.add(batch.inserts)
    delta.commit()
transaction.commit()
```
Which produces many manifest files and is very IO intensive.

This operation allows:
```
update = table.newStreamingUpdate()
for batch, batchIndex in enumerate(batches):
    update.addUpdate(batch.deleteFiles, batch.dataFiles, batchIndex)
update.commit()
```
