Ali Afroozeh e2d3983de7 [SPARK-30798][SQL] Scope Session.active in QueryExecution
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR scopes `SparkSession.active` to prevent problems with processing queries with possibly different spark sessions (and different configs). A new method, `withActive` is introduced on `SparkSession` that restores the previous spark session after the block of code is executed.

### Why are the changes needed?
`SparkSession.active` is a thread local variable that points to the current thread's spark session. It is important to note that the `SQLConf.get` method depends on `SparkSession.active`. In the current implementation it is possible that `SparkSession.active` points to a different session which causes various problems. Most of these problems arise because part of the query processing is done using the configurations of a different session. For example, when creating a data frame using a new session, i.e., `session.sql("...")`, part of the data frame is constructed using the currently active spark session, which can be a different session from the one used later for processing the query.

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
The `withActive` method is introduced on `SparkSession`.

### How was this patch tested?
Unit tests (to be added)

Closes #27387 from dbaliafroozeh/UseWithActiveSessionInQueryExecution.

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.
