Deepen v2-checkpoint regression coverage for the native Delta scan #5660

What is the problem the feature request solves?

Follow-up from the native Delta Lake scan review (#5365). The v2-checkpoint test performs several commits and reads immediately, so it does not establish that the read reconstructs the snapshot from the checkpoint rather than cached state. Coverage should verify actual checkpoint artifacts, include a sidecar-backed case, invalidate the Delta log cache, and reopen the snapshot before comparing Spark and native results. A post-checkpoint append plus a time-travel read would exercise the boundary between snapshot reconstruction and native table scanning.
