IMPALA-13009: Fix catalogd not sending deletion updates for some dropped 
partitions

*Background*

Since IMPALA-3127, catalogd sends incremental partition updates based on
the last sent table snapshot ('maxSentPartitionId_' to be specific).
Dropped partitions since the last catalog update are tracked in
'droppedPartitions_' of HdfsTable. When catalogd collects the next
catalog update, they will be collected. HdfsTable then clears the set.
See details in CatalogServiceCatalog#addHdfsPartitionsToCatalogDelta().

If an HdfsTable is invalidated, it's replaced with an IncompleteTable
which doesn't track any partitions. The HdfsTable object is then added
to the deleteLog so catalogd can send deletion updates for all its
partitions. The same if the HdfsTable is dropped. However, the
previously dropped partitions are not collected in this case, which
results in a leak in the catalog topic if the partition name is not
reused anymore. Note that in the catalog topic, the key of a partition
update consists of the table name and the partition name. So if the
partition is added back to the table, the topic key will be reused then
resolves the leak.

The leak will be observed when a coordinator restarts. In the initial
catalog update sent from statestore, coordinator will find some
partition updates that are not referenced by the HdfsTable (assuming the
table is used again after the INVALIDATE). Then a Precondition check
fails and the table is not added to the coordinator.

*Overview of the patch*

This patch fixes the leak by also collecting the dropped partitions when
adding the HdfsTable to the deleteLog. A new field, dropped_partitions,
is added in THdfsTable to collect them. It's only used when catalogd
collects catalog updates.

Removes the Precondition check in coordinator and just reports the stale
partitions since IMPALA-12831 could also introduce them.

Also adds a log line in CatalogOpExecutor.alterTableDropPartition() to
show the dropped partition names for better diagnostics.

>
> Currently, partitions are tightly integrated into the HdfsTable objects, 
> making incremental metadata updates difficult to perform. Furthermore, the 
> catalog transmits entire table metadata even when only few partitions change, 
> introducing significant latencies, wasting network bandwidth and CPU cycles 
> while updating table metadata at the receiving impalads. As a first step, we 
> should decouple partitions from tables and add them as a separate level in 
> the hierarchy of catalog entities (server-db-table-partition). Subsequently, 
> the catalog should transmit only entities that have changed after DDL/DML 
> statements.
