Restor support for parenthesis in Pig 0.9
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-2261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2261
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: impl
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Richard Ding
             Fix For: 0.9.1


Pig 0.8 and earlier versions used to support syntax such as 
 
{code}
A =(load ....)
{code}

This was removed as "useless" in 0.9 when the grammar was redone. It turns out 
that some user is using this for ease of code generation so we want to restore 
it back.

Just to clarify, Pig 0.9 continues to support composite statements such as

{code}
B = filter (load 'data' as (a, b)) by a > 0;
{code}

It just removed "useless" parenthesis and doesn't support statements like

{code}
A = (load 'data' as (a, b));
{code}
