Please describe the bug 🐞

If retryable error codes are configured, and JDBC catalog connection pool tries to retry action more than once (for example, when database is restarting), it fails with ClassCastException if the JDBC driver exception class does not extend SQLTransientException.

Issue stack trace:

java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast org.postgresql.util.PSQLException to java.sql.SQLTransientException

at java.lang.Class.cast(Class.java:3890)
at org.apache.iceberg.ClientPoolImpl.run(ClientPoolImpl.java:85)
at org.apache.iceberg.ClientPoolImpl.run(ClientPoolImpl.java:65)
at org.apache.iceberg.jdbc.JdbcUtil.tableOrView(JdbcUtil.java:598)
....

The problem is that in ClientPoolImpl line 85 (https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/apache-iceberg-1.6.1/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/ClientPoolImpl.java#L85), there is unconditional cast of the driver exception to reconnectExc, which JdbcClientPool sets to SQLTransientException in the call to superclass (ClientPoolImpl) constructor: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/apache-iceberg-1.6.1/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/jdbc/JdbcClientPool.java#L69

Postgresql JDBC driver uses PSQLException for all exceptions and this class does not extend SQLTransientException so the cast fails.
