[SPARK-25797][SQL][DOCS][BACKPORT-2.3] Add migration doc for solving issues caused by view canonicalization approach change ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Since Spark 2.2, view definitions are stored in a different way from prior versions. This may cause Spark unable to read views created by prior versions. See [SPARK-25797](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25797) for more details. Basically, we have 2 options. 1) Make Spark 2.2+ able to get older view definitions back. Since the expanded text is buggy and unusable, we have to use original text (this is possible with [SPARK-25459](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25459)). However, because older Spark versions don't save the context for the database, we cannot always get correct view definitions without view default database. 2) Recreate the views by `ALTER VIEW AS` or `CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW AS`. This PR aims to add migration doc to help users troubleshoot this issue by above option 2. ## How was this patch tested? N/A.

When reading the table, Spark respects the partition values of these overlapping columns instead of the values stored in the data source files.
