    [WIP][SPARK-9686][SQL] Redirect JDBC metadata calls to Spark SQL metadata 
Hive client

    This PR is based on the patch @navis provided in [SPARK-9686][1].
    
    Basically, it overrides all JDBC metadata related methods in 
`SparkSQLCLIService`, overrides session `HiveConf` with proper configurations, 
and wraps the original calls with `hiveContext.metadataHive.withHiveState`, so 
that metadata stored in the real Hive metastore can be retrieved.
    
    Unfortunately, both @navis and I observed that this approach doesn't play 
well with embedded metastore, because Hive somehow tries to establish multiple 
connections to the local Derby metastore database while Derby doesn't support 
multi-connection.
    
    I've being digging this for a while, but failed to figure out a valid 
fix/workaround for this issue. (So the test case added in this PR doesn't 
pass.) My impression is that, somehow the `HiveMetaStoreClient` belongs to 
metadata Hive client got a snapshot of the `HiveConf` of the execution Hive 
client, thus makes Hive try to establish a new connection instead of reusing 
the existing connection because this `HiveConf` is considered to be 
"[incompatible][2]" with the session `HiveConf`.
