IMPALA-9222: Speed up show tables/DBs if the user has access to parent db/server

Currently we always do the auth check for tables/dbs individually.
If the user has privileges higher in the hierarchy then it is not
necessary to do these checks as they will all succeed.

This change adds a higher level check before the individual checks.
The optimization is only enabled for Sentry, as Ranger has deny
policies, so server/db level access does not guarantee db/table level
access.

Testing:
- the existing auth related test coverage seems enough
- there are no tests for deny policies yet - adding them seems a bigger
  task so I created a follow up jira: IMPALA-9252
