DRILL-4120: Allow implicit columns for Avro storage format Existing implementation of `AvroDrillTabl` does not allow dynamic columns discovering. `AvroDrillTable.getRowType()` method returns `RelDataTypeImlp` instance with the list of all table columns. It forces validator to check columns from select list in `RowType` list. It makes impossible to use implicit columns. This fix replaces the usage of `AvroDrillTable` by `DynamicDrillTable` for Avro format and also allows usage of non-existent columns in Avro tables to be consistent with other storage formats.
