Equality delete schemas constructed in DeleteFilter.applyEqDeletes relied on the field order of requiredSchema, which varies depending on the query's projection. When the SparkExecutorCache returned delete records read with one field ordering to a reader expecting another, StructProjection silently misinterpreted the positional data, causing deletes to be skipped.

We fix this by Canonicalize the deleteSchema by sorting fields by field ID. Now every reader produces the same schema for deletes regardless of projection, ensuring cache hits return correctly ordered records.

Looks like a clean backport, thank you @RussellSpitzer!

…ed-it] [databricks] (#15964)

**JaCoCo production line coverage: not fully measurable locally — no
compatible Scala 2.13 / shim 411 nightly baseline is published.**

Contributes to #12885.

### Description

This test-only recovery restores enforced CPU/GPU result checks for
mixed Iceberg position and equality deletes on Iceberg 1.10.2 and newer.
Before this change, the format-v2 and format-v3 cases were permanent
expected failures with fixed data seeds even on runtimes containing the
upstream equality-delete cache fix. The affected older releases are now
skipped instead of spending test time on known failures; production
behavior is unchanged.

[Apache Iceberg #15514](apache/iceberg#15514),
released in 1.11.0 and [backported to
1.10.2](apache/iceberg#15605), fixes
equality-delete records being cached in a query-dependent field order.
This PR:

- Skips both mixed-delete tests on Iceberg versions older than 1.10.2,
removes their expected-failure markers and permanent seed overrides on
fixed versions, and fails pytest configuration when `--iceberg` lacks an
expected runtime version.
- Passes the expected Iceberg version through the Spark 4.0
extra-classpath pre-merge launcher and documents the required
environment variable.
- Keeps every count, full-row, and GPU-scan assertion. For the format-v3
count query only, disables adaptive query execution so plan validation
sees the completed scan, then resets session configuration before
fixture cleanup.

Older supported dependencies are not fixed by this PR, so #12885 should
remain open. Iceberg 1.10.2 was policy-checked but was not
GPU-runtime-tested locally. Shared pytest configuration and pre-merge
launcher paths changed, so Databricks remains in CI scope.

#### Validation

- Spark 4.1.1 / Iceberg 1.11.0 / Python 3.10: all six focused
format-v2/format-v3 CPU/GPU cases passed across the three reader modes
(`6 passed, 45 deselected` in 219.85 seconds). Full-row equality and the
format-v3 `GpuBatchScanExec` assertion were exercised.
- Spark 4.0.0 / Iceberg 1.10.1 / Python 3.10: all six focused cases were
selected and skipped (`6 skipped, 45 deselected` in 1.73 seconds).
- Seven release-boundary checks and two decorator-policy checks passed.
The checked cases cover missing version, 1.6.1, 1.9.2, 1.10.0, 1.10.1,
1.10.2, and 1.11.0.
- Unset `EXPECTED_ICEBERG_VERSION` with `--iceberg` failed during pytest
configuration with exit 4 and the expected error. `bash -n` and a
focused launcher probe confirmed that the Spark 4.0 extra-classpath path
forwards Iceberg 1.10.1.
- Python 3.10 compilation and `git diff --check` passed.

No production performance change is expected.
