IMPALA-7942 (part 2): Add query hints for predicate selectivities

Currently, Impala only uses simple estimation to compute selectivity.
For some predicates, this may lead to worse query plan due to CBO.

This patch adds a new query hint: 'SELECTIVITY' to help specify a
selectivity value for a predicate.

The parser will interpret expressions wrapped in () followed by a
C-style comment /* <predicate hint> */ as a predicate hint. The
predicate hint currently can be in the form of +SELECTIVITY(f) where
'f' is a positive floating point number, in the range of (0, 1], to
use as the selectivity for the preceding expression.

Single predicate example:

  select col from t where (a=1) /* +SELECTIVITY(0.5) */;

Compound predicate example:

  select col from t where (a=1 or b=2) /* +SELECTIVITY(0.5) */;

As a limitation of this path, the selectivity hints for 'AND' compound
predicates, either in the original SQL query or internally generated,
are ignored. We may supported this in the near future.

Testing:
- Added new fe tests in 'PlannerTest'
- Added new fe tests in 'AnalyzeStmtsTest' for negative cases
