### What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR updates the documentation on `TableCatalog.alterTable`s behavior on the order by which the requested changes are applied. It now explicitly mentions that the changes are applied in the order given. ### Why are the changes needed? The current documentation on `TableCatalog.alterTable` doesn't mention which order the requested changes are applied. It will be useful to explicitly document this behavior so that the user can expect the behavior. For example, `REPLACE COLUMNS` needs to delete columns before adding new columns, and if the order is guaranteed by `alterTable`, it's much easier to work with the catalog API. ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change? Yes, document change. ### How was this patch tested? Not added (doc changes). Closes #27496 from imback82/catalog_table_alter_table.
