[SPARK-17903][SQL] MetastoreRelation should talk to external catalog
instead of hive client
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
`HiveExternalCatalog` should be the only interface to talk to the hive
metastore. In `MetastoreRelation` we can just use `ExternalCatalog` instead of
`HiveClient` to interact with hive metastore, and add missing API in
`ExternalCatalog`.
## How was this patch tested?
existing tests.
