Hello Gabor Kaszab, Attila Jeges, Tim Armstrong,

I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit

    http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/8508

to look at the new patch set (#4).

Change subject: IMPALA-5237: Support a quoted string in date/time format

IMPALA-5237: Support a quoted string in date/time format

Impala does not represent a quoted string at date/time format.
For example, addtional quoted string between the patterns
(e.g. HH\'H\' => 11H). Hive supports this feature, so user wants
to get a same result from Impala. By the way, Impala returns
a different result as below.

* Hive
> select from_unixtime(1492677564, 'HH\'H\' mm\'M\' ss\'S\'');
08H 39M 24S

* Impala
> select from_unixtime(1492677564, 'HH\'H\' mm\'M\' ss\'S\'');
08'8' 39'4' 24'0'

The change affects the format pattern for
from_unixtime/from_timestamp/unix_timestamp.

In unix_timestamp, user can also specify a quoted string like this.

> select unix_timestamp('\'Epoch time: \'19700101',
> '\'Epoch time: \'yyyyMMdd');
0

By the way, the quoted strings between input and format should be
exactly same and internally string comparison is case-sensitive.

There is one intentional difference between Hive and Impala.
In Impala, the format string should have any date or time patten
as below. Throwing the error/warning is better if Impala cannot
optimize the expression. User must rewrite the query and don't pay
the function call.

* Hive
> select from_unixtime(0, '\'Hello world!\'');
Hello world!

* Impala
> select from_unixtime(0, '\'Hello world!\'');
Bad date/time conversion format: 'Hello world!'

Testing:
Add unit tests for working and nonworking cases
