   Thanks for the changes @BlakeOrth.
   I also believe that automatically resolving the partitioning is the best 
approach. Like @alamb said, it would be nice to document and add an option to 
toggle this off if needed. In addition to adding documentation at 
https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/ddl.html#create-external-table, I 
think we should also have additional documentation here: 
https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/cli/datasources.html#create-external-table.
   
   One thing to note is that I believe that `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` now has a 
different behavior from `SessionContext::register_parquet`, which still 
requires partitions to be manually specified. I also feel `register_parquet` 
could use a form of automatic partition detection, maybe in a flag passed to 
`ParquetReadOptions`.
