🐞 Add a way to lookup owner by email in OpenMetadata

[MatMoore]

User Story

As a data owner
I expect to specify ownership via an email address (i.e. my justice.gov.uk email)
So that I don't need to know internal data catalogue IDs

But when we create the data product, the OpenMetadata API requires we pass an ID for the owner.

So we need a way to lookup the owner id by email address. Either as a separate method, or internal to the update call. This is currently missing from the catalogue library.

Proposal

https://github.com/ministryofjustice/data-platform/tree/main/python-libraries/data-platform-catalogue

Either add a separate method, or incorporate into the update.

If no user exists with the email, we should throw an exception so that the lambda code can reject the metadata.

Additional Information

Until we fix this, we will be unable to set the owner via the API. In the interim we're hardcoding it to the labs team user.
