IMPALA-6638: Reduce file handle cache lock contention

FileHandleCache::OpenFileHandle() currently holds the
lock while opening a file handle. This lengthens the
duration holding the lock considerably, causing
contention when a lot of file handles are being
opened (i.e. when the cache is cold).

This changes FileHandleCache::OpenFileHandle() drops
the lock while opening the file handle, then
reacquires it to add the file handle to the cache.

When running a simple select on a table with 46801
Parquet files, this fixes a small performance overhead
for the cold cache case compared to having the
cache off. All results are averaged over 5 runs:

File handle cache off: 7.19s
File handle cache cold (no patch): 7.92s
File handle cache cold (with patch): 7.20s

When running a select that accesses and aggregates
4 columns from the same Parquet table (thus requiring
more scan ranges for the same file), the fix reduces
contention, particularly for the case with 8 IO threads
per disk:

1 IO thread per disk:
Without patch: 9.59s
With patch: 8.11s

8 IO threads per disk:
Without patch: 14.2s
With patch: 8.17s

The patch has no impact on the performance when the
cache is hot.
