### Description of PR
This PR adds a new feature to commit files optimistically (assumes no
conflicting file/dir in the destination) to avoid a `FileSystem.getFileStatus`
RPC. The default behavior has not been changed. To use this feature this config
must be set `mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.optimistic.file.commit.enabled=true`.
This is useful for cases like Spark where no destination conflict is
expected and the `FileSystem.getFileStatus` RPC is wasted time. When I profiled
the commit time for a Spark job before this enhancement, it showed this call
was taking 50% of the time (HDFS with intermittent latency in our environment).
### How was this patch tested?
**Correctness**
I modified all tests in `FileOutputCommitter` tests to run with and without
this configuration. I modified the test class to use parameterized tests using
the default configs and this change enabled. There may also be an opportunity
to move the v1/v2 algorithm tests into the parameterized test, but I opted to
leave that refactor for later to minimize unnecessary changes.
```
[INFO] Running org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.TestFileOutputCommitter
[INFO] Tests run: 44, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed:
3.946 s - in org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.TestFileOutputCommitter
```
**Performance**
I tested the performance of the changes using Spark writing to HDFS for
partitioned and non-partitioned datasets. The summary of the improvement is:
- For the non-partitioned commit, the average commit time decreased from
16.6min to 4.8min (71% improvement).
- For the partitioned commit, the average commit time decreased from 4.3min
to 1.5min (65% improvement).

Non-partitioned test Spark script:
```scala
val fileCount = 5000
val path = "/path/temp_data_no_part"
spark.range(0, fileCount, 1, fileCount).write
.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite)
.option("path", path)
.save()
```
Partitioned test Spark script:
```scala
val fileCount = 1000
val partitionCount = 5
val path = "/path/temp_data_part"
spark
.range(0, fileCount, 1, fileCount)
.withColumn("part", $"id" % lit(partitionCount))
.write
.mode(SaveMode.Overwrite)
.option("path", path)
.partitionBy("part")
.save()
```

> Support optimistic file renames in the commit protocol

> Key: MAPREDUCE-7500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-7500
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Environment: The commit protocol in FileOutputCommitter now supports
> optimistic commits for files. This saves a FileSystem.getFileStatus call for
> cases where it is unexpected to have conflict in the destination location at
> commit time (e.g. Spark). This feature is disabled by default. To enable it
> set mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.optimistic.file.commit.enabled=true.
> Reporter: Rob Reeves
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available

>
> During a file commit in FileOutputCommitter, it assumes a file may be in the
> destination location and if so will delete it first. This means for every
> file commit is calls FileSystem.getFileStatus for the destination. For the
> Spark use case, there will be nothing existing in the destination location
> for the expected case so the getFileStatus call is wasted in all, but
> exceptional and unexpected cases.
> The getFileStatus call can take significant time. When I profiled a commit in
> our environment (HDFS, intermittent latency issues) the
> FileSystem.getFileStatus call takes 50% of the commit time. We have an
> aggressive auto-msync setting, but even when I disabled msync I saw the same
> behavior. I attached an example flame graph for the commit time
> (getFileStatus time is highlighted in pink).
> To avoid the time spent on getFileStatus, there should be an option to
> optimistically commit the file assuming there will be no conflict in the
> destination.
