### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This is the new PR which to address the close one #17953
1. support "void" primitive data type in the `AstBuilder`, point it to `NullType`
2. forbid creating tables with VOID/NULL column type
### Why are the changes needed?
1. Spark is incompatible with hive void type. When Hive table schema contains void type, DESC table will throw an exception in Spark.
>hive> create table bad as select 1 x, null z from dual;
>hive> describe bad;
OK
x int
z void
In Spark2.0.x, the behaviour to read this view is normal:
>spark-sql> describe bad;
x int NULL
z void NULL
Time taken: 4.431 seconds, Fetched 2 row(s)
But in lastest Spark version, it failed with SparkException: Cannot recognize hive type string: void
>spark-sql> describe bad;
17/05/09 03:12:08 ERROR thriftserver.SparkSQLDriver: Failed in [describe bad]

org.apache.spark.SparkException: Cannot recognize hive type string: void
2. Hive CTAS statements throws error when select clause has NULL/VOID type column since HIVE-11217
In Spark, creating table with a VOID/NULL column should throw readable exception message, include
- create data source table (using parquet, json, ...)
- create hive table (with or without stored as)
- CTAS
