root1 b20754d9ee [SPARK-27545][SQL][DOC] Update the Documentation for CACHE TABLE and UNCACHE TABLE
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Document updated for `CACHE TABLE` & `UNCACHE TABLE`

### Why are the changes needed?
Cache table creates a temp view while caching data using `CACHE TABLE name AS query`. `UNCACHE TABLE` does not remove this temp view.

These things were not mentioned in the existing doc for `CACHE TABLE` & `UNCACHE TABLE`.

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Document updated for `CACHE TABLE` & `UNCACHE TABLE` command.

### How was this patch tested?
Manually

Closes #27090 from iRakson/SPARK-27545.

Description

UNCACHE TABLE removes the entries and associated data from the in-memory and/or on-disk cache for a given table or view. The underlying entries should already have been brought to cache by previous CACHE TABLE operation. UNCACHE TABLE on a non-existent table throws an exception if IF EXISTS is not specified.

Syntax

{% highlight sql %} UNCACHE TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] table_identifier {% endhighlight %}

Parameters

table_identifier
Specifies the table or view name to be uncached. The table or view name may be optionally qualified with a database name.

Syntax: [ database_name. ] table_name

Examples

{% highlight sql %} UNCACHE TABLE t1; {% endhighlight %}
