* feat(cdi): Remove CallContext.close() (apache#1776)

Now that every catalog created by PolarisCallContextCatalogFactory is correctly closed by IcebergCatalogAdapter, we can finally remove the CallContext.close() method and the associated cloaseables group.

This simplification will hopefully pave the way to a more robust handling of request-scoped beans in task executor threads.

* Remove the unused field in CallContextCatalogFactory (apache#1784)

* Test: silence CDS warning from admin tool tests (apache#1800)

* Update ascii banner (apache#1654)

* Don't rotate root's credentials on startup in JdbcMetaStoreManagerFactory (apache#1804)

* Core: Consolidate CallContext with PolarisCallContext part 1(apache#1806)

* Automate regeneration of Python client (apache#1675)

When running regtests or the CLI, we should run `./gradlew regeneratePythonClient` in order to run against the most up-to-date Python client.

As part of this change, I've also updated the generator to 7.12 to match what's in the `libs.version.toml` and regenerated the code managed in github.

Once the automatic generation works as part of CI, we can remove the generated code from the repo altogether. In the future, it can be added to .gitignore.

* Remove deprecated constructor for PolarisCallContext (apache#1813)

After pr apache#1806, the original constructor is marked as deprecated and is not suppose to be used anymore.
This PR removes the usage of the old constructors.

* Remove CallContext.of (apache#1812)

This PR is a follow-up of apache#1806 to remove all usage of CallContext.of() in tests and the method itself

* Remove CallContext.getDiagnostics (apache#1815)

This shall be part of the CallContext cleanup process. `CallContext.getDiagnostics` is never used anywhere

* Turn CallContext.copyOf into an interface instead of static function (apache#1816)

* Refactor getConfiguration to use RealmContext (Part 2) (apache#1783)

* main: Update dependency gradle to v8.14.2 (apache#1820)
