#### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR is to provide a native support for DDL `DROP VIEW` and `DROP TABLE`. The PR includes native parsing and native analysis.

Based on the HIVE DDL document for [DROP_VIEW_WEB_LINK](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-
DropView
), `DROP VIEW` is defined as,
**Syntax:**
```SQL
DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS] [db_name.]view_name;
```
 - to remove metadata for the specified view.
 - illegal to use DROP TABLE on a view.
 - illegal to use DROP VIEW on a table.
 - this command only works in `HiveContext`. In `SQLContext`, we will get an exception.

This PR also handles `DROP TABLE`.
**Syntax:**
```SQL
DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] table_name [PURGE];
```
- Previously, the `DROP TABLE` command only can drop Hive tables in `HiveContext`. Now, after this PR, this command also can drop temporary table, external table, external data source table in `SQLContext`.
- In `HiveContext`, we will not issue an exception if the to-be-dropped table does not exist and users did not specify `IF EXISTS`. Instead, we just log an error message. If `IF EXISTS` is specified, we will not issue any error message/exception.
- In `SQLContext`, we will issue an exception if the to-be-dropped table does not exist, unless `IF EXISTS` is specified.
- Data will not be deleted if the tables are `external`, unless table type is `managed_table`.

#### How was this patch tested?
For verifying command parsing, added test cases in `spark/sql/hive/HiveDDLCommandSuite.scala`
For verifying command analysis, added test cases in `spark/sql/hive/execution/HiveDDLSuite.scala`
