   Use the new framework to resolve the DESCRIBE TABLE command.
   
   The v1 DESCRIBE TABLE command supports both table and view. Checked with 
Hive and Presto, they don't have DESCRIBE TABLE but only DESCRIBE, which 
supports both table and view:
   1. 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DescribeTable/View/MaterializedView/Column
   2. https://prestodb.io/docs/current/sql/describe.html
   
   We should make it clear that DESCRIBE support both table and view, by 
renaming the command to `DescribeRelation`.
   
   This PR also tunes the framework a little bit to support the case that a 
command accepts both table and view.
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.
   -->
   This is a part of effort to make the relation lookup behavior consistent: 
SPARK-2990.
   
   Note that I make a separated PR here, as I need to update the framework to 
support a new use case: accept both table and view.
   
   ### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
   <!--
   If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes 
- provide the console output, description and/or an example to show the 
behavior difference if possible.
   If no, write 'No'.

   no

test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.
