[SPARK-21617][SQL] Store correct metadata in Hive for altered DS table. This change fixes two issues: - when loading table metadata from Hive, restore the "provider" field of CatalogTable so DS tables can be identified. - when altering a DS table in the Hive metastore, make sure to not alter the table's schema, since the DS table's schema is stored as a table property in those cases. Also added a new unit test for this issue which fails without this change.
