Wenchen Fan 0c9c8ff569 [SPARK-35968][SQL] Make sure partitions are not too small in AQE partition coalescing
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

By default, AQE will set `COALESCE_PARTITIONS_MIN_PARTITION_NUM` to the spark default parallelism, which is usually quite big. This is to keep the parallelism on par with non-AQE, to avoid perf regressions.

However, this usually leads to many small/empty partitions, and hurts performance (although not worse than non-AQE). Users usually blindly set `COALESCE_PARTITIONS_MIN_PARTITION_NUM` to 1, which makes this config quite useless.

This PR adds a new config to set the min partition size, to avoid too small partitions after coalescing. By default, Spark will not respect the target size, and only respect this min partition size, to maximize the parallelism and avoid perf regression in AQE. This PR also adds a bool config to respect the target size when coalescing partitions, and it's recommended to set it to get better overall performance. This PR also deprecates the `COALESCE_PARTITIONS_MIN_PARTITION_NUM` config.

### Why are the changes needed?

AQE is default on now, we should make the perf better in the default case.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

yes, a new config.

### How was this patch tested?

new tests

Closes #33172 from cloud-fan/aqe2.

Spark SQL

This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.

Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:

  • Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
  • Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
  • Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes extensions that allow users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allow users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
  • HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.

Running ./sql/create-docs.sh generates SQL documentation for built-in functions under sql/site, and SQL configuration documentation that gets included as part of configuration.md in the main docs directory.
