[SPARK-31113][SQL] Add SHOW VIEWS command
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Previously, user can issue `SHOW TABLES` to get info of both tables and views.
This PR (SPARK-31113) implements `SHOW VIEWS` SQL command similar to HIVE to get views only.(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-ShowViews)

**Hive** -- Only show view names
```
hive> SHOW VIEWS;
OK
view_1
view_2
...
```

**Spark(Hive-Compatible)** -- Only show view names, used in tests and `SparkSQLDriver` for CLI applications
```
SHOW VIEWS IN showdb;
view_1
view_2
...
```

**Spark** -- Show more information database/viewName/isTemporary
```
spark-sql> SHOW VIEWS;
userdb	view_1	false
userdb	view_2	false
...
```

### Why are the changes needed?
`SHOW VIEWS` command provides better granularity to only get information of views.

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Add new `SHOW VIEWS` SQL command

### How was this patch tested?
Add new test `show-views.sql` and pass existing tests

Closes #27897 from Eric5553/ShowViews.
