   Backport a small subset of thrift related changes from HIVE-18755 to 
`branch-2.3`, which allows Hive 2.3.x client to specify catalog to read when 
communicating with HMS of version 3.x+.
   
   Note this only adds a optional `catalog` field in several of the HMS thrift 
APIs, and is backward compatible. I plan to open a few follow-up PRs to 
introduce the actual changes to `HiveMetaStoreClient`.
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.
   -->
   
   [HIVE-18755](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18755) introduced 
the concept of catalog which adds another level of namespace on top of tables 
and databases. Given HMS using Hive 3.x already has this feature and Hive 2.3 
client is commonly used to talk to these metastores through frameworks such as 
Spark, this JIRA proposes to backport a subset of the features to allow Hive 
2.3 client to specify catalog to read from the 3.x metastores.
   ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
   <!--
   Note that it means *any* user-facing change including all aspects such as 
the documentation fix.
   If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes 
- provide the console output, description, screenshot and/or a reproducable 
example to show the behavior difference if possible.
   If possible, please also clarify if this is a user-facing change compared to 
the released Hive versions or within the unreleased branches such as master.
   If no, write 'No'.
   -->
   
   No. This is only thrift related changes and is backward compatible.
   
   ### Is the change a dependency upgrade?
   <!--
   If yes, please attach a file with output from mvn dependency:tree to 
validate a complete upgrade of dependency.
   If no, write 'No'.
   -->
   
   No
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.
