Zhu, Lipeng 3b37bfde2a [SPARK-27949][SQL] Support SUBSTRING(str FROM n1 [FOR n2]) syntax
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Currently, function `substr/substring`'s usage is like `substring(string_expression, n1 [,n2])`.

But, the ANSI SQL defined the pattern for substr/substring is like `SUBSTRING(str FROM n1 [FOR n2])`. This gap makes some inconvenient when we switch to the SparkSQL.

- ANSI SQL-92: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt

Below are the mainly DB engines to support the ANSI standard for substring.
- PostgreSQL https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/functions-string.html
- MySQL https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-functions.html#function_substring
- Redshift https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_SUBSTRING.html
- Teradata https://docs.teradata.com/reader/756LNiPSFdY~4JcCCcR5Cw/XnePye0Cwexw6Pny_qnxVA

**Oracle, SQL Server, Hive, Presto don't have this additional syntax.**

## How was this patch tested?

Pass the Jenkins with the updated test cases.

Closes #24802 from lipzhu/SPARK-27949.
