IMPALA-7510. Support principals/privileges with LocalCatalog

This enables support for Sentry authorization when LocalCatalog is
enabled. The design is detailed in a change to the comment on
CatalogdMetaProvider, but to recap it briefly here:

At a high level, this patch takes the approach of duplicating the "v1"
catalog flow for PRINCIPAL and PRIVILEGE catalog objects. Namely, the catalog
daemon publishes complete objects into the statestore topic, and the
impalad fully replicates them locally.

I took this approach rather than trying to do fine-grained caching and
invalidation for the following reasons:

- The PRINCIPAL and PRIVILEGE metadata is typically many orders of magnitude
  smaller than table metadata. So, the benefit of fine-grained caching
  and eviction is not as great.

- The PRINCIPAL and PRIVILEGE catalog objects are fairly tightly intertwined
  with relationships between them and backwards mappings maintained from
  groups back to principals. This logic is implemented by the
  AuthorizationPolicy class. Implementing similar mapping in a
  fine-grained caching approach would be a reasonable amount of work.

- This bit of code is under some current flux as others are working on
  implementing more fine grained permissioning. Thus, trying to
  duplicate the logic in a "fetch-on-demand" implementation might turn
  out to be chasing somewhat of a moving target.

In order to take this approach, the patch is organized as follows:

- refactored some of the role/principal removal logic from ImpaladCatalog
  into AuthorizationPolicy. This makes it easier to perform the similar
  "subscribe" with less duplicate cdoe.

- changed catalogd to publish PRINCIPAL and PRIVILEGE objects to v2
  catalogs in addition to v1.

- passed through LocalCatalog.getAuthPolicy to CatalogdMetaProvider, and
  added an AuthorizationPolicy member there. This member is maintained
  when we see PRINCIPAL and PRIVILEGE objects come via the catalog
  updates.

- had to implement LocalCatalog.isReady() to ensure that we don't allow
  user access until the first topic update has been consumed.

- additionally had to copy some other code from ImpaladCatalog to
  protect against various races -- we need a CatalogDeltaLog as well as
  careful sequencing of the order in which the objects apply.

With this patch and the following one to enable UDF support, I was able
to run the tests in tests/authorization successfully with LocalCatalog
enabled.
