URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/issues/781

   ### Search before asking
   
   - [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
   
   
   ### Motivation
   
   Apache Paimon currently uses the file prefix and file system List command to manage the linear history of snapshots, but this method has the following drawbacks:
   
   - It is not friendly with object storage, where operations such as List\Rename are very resource-intensive.
   - This method has a single linear relationship, which is not conducive to creating complex relationships, such as create a new branch\tag.
   
   ### Solution
   
   Store the file path of the previous Snapshot directly in the Snapshot object.
   
   
   
   ### Anything else?
   
   _No response_
