DRILL-3938: Support reading from Hive tables that have schema altered after
the creation
Hive creates a converter to convert from the partition schema to table
schema when the table schema is altered after the partition is created. The
behavior in mapping partition schema to table schema is:
- if a column doesn't exist in partition schema, its value is considered
as null
- if the column type doesn't match the required type, it is converted
according to various convert methods available in Hive.
Currently we have to rely on the Hive converters, because Drill doesn't
have the same convert methods that Hive has [1].

Also:
+ Remove "redoRecord" logic which is not needed after "automatic
reallocation" (DRILL-1960) changes.
+ Remove HiveTestRecordReader. This is incomplete in implementation and not
used anywhere. It is currently just
a burden to maintain with changes in its superclass HiveRecordReader
