> Add a getAuthorizationProvider to HiveStorageHandler

>
> In version 0.92 HBase supports ACLs for tables. In HCatalog, since we
> delegate security to the underlying storage layer, we would like to be able
> to obtain a HiveAuthorizationProvider specific to a HiveStorageHandler
> instance. This can be done by adding a getAuthorizationProvider method to
> HiveStorageHandler. In the case where Hive is configured to use the
> DefaultHiveAuthorizationProvider this call will return the same default
> provider, since Hive handles all of the authorization itself in that case.
> In the case where it is configured to use the HCatAuthorizationProvider, it
> would return an instance specific to the underlying storage.
> For more background on this proposed change see HCATALOG-237 and
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/Hcat+Security+Design
