This PR moves a major part of the new SQL parser to Catalyst. This is a prelude to start using this parser for all of our SQL parsing. The following key changes have been made:
The ANTLR Parser & Supporting classes have been moved to the Catalyst project. They are now part of the ```org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser``` package. These classes contained quite a bit of code that was originally from the Hive project, I have added aknowledgements whenever this applied. All Hive dependencies have been factored out. I have also taken this chance to clean-up the ```ASTNode``` class, and to improve the error handling.
The HiveQl object that provides the functionality to convert an AST into a LogicalPlan has been refactored into three different classes, one for every SQL sub-project:
- ```CatalystQl```: This implements Query and Expression parsing functionality.
- ```SparkQl```: This is a subclass of CatalystQL and provides SQL/Core only functionality such as Explain and Describe.
- ```HiveQl```: This is a subclass of ```SparkQl``` and this adds Hive-only functionality to the parser such as Analyze, Drop, Views, CTAS & Transforms. This class still depends on Hive.
