[I] Renaming a column corrupts field-scoped options: nested renames, spaced CSV entries, and clustering.columns [paimon]

LuciferYang opened a new issue, #10277:
URL: https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues/10277

   ### Search before asking
   
   - [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues) and found no similar issues.
   
   ### Paimon version
   
   master (1.5-SNAPSHOT)
   
   ### Compute Engine
   
   Any engine issuing `ALTER TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN`.
   
   ### Minimal reproduce step
   
   Renaming a column rewrites the field-referencing table options so they follow the new name. `SchemaManagerUtils.applyRenameColumnsToOptions` mishandles three cases.
   
   1. Nested renames are keyed by their root column. Rename a nested field such as `metrics.value.f1` to `f100` on a shredded MAP column that carries `fields.metrics.map.storage-layout=shared-shredding`. The option is relocated to `fields.f100.map.storage-layout`, so the still-named `metrics` column loses its shredding config and the option references a column that does not exist. Two nested renames under the same root throw `IllegalStateException: Duplicate key` from the toMap collector.
   
   2. CSV option entries are split without trimming, while the canonical readers (`bucket-key`, `sequence.field`, `clustering.columns`, sequence-group) all trim. With `bucket-key = 'a, b'`, renaming `b` to `c` fails to match the ` b` entry, the value stays `a, b`, and the next commit aborts because validation trims to `[a, b]` and finds `b` gone.
   
   3. `clustering.columns` (and its fallback key `sink.clustering.by-columns`) is not rewritten, so renaming a clustering column leaves the option pointing at the dropped name.
   
   ### What doesn't meet your expectations?
   
   After a rename, every field-referencing option should follow the new column name. Instead the options above are dropped, relocated to a non-existent column, crash the rename, or later abort a commit.
   
   ### Anything else?
   
   _No response_
   
   ### Are you willing to submit a PR?
