[SPARK-12682] Add support for (optionally) not storing tables in hive metadata format This PR adds a new table option (`skip_hive_metadata`) that'd allow the user to skip storing the table metadata in hive metadata format. While this could be useful in general, the specific use-case for this change is that Hive doesn't handle wide schemas well (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12682 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6024) which in turn prevents such tables from being queried in SparkSQL.
