Review Comment:

now they are treated as columns.
   
   It might not be too much breaking change. For all the supported hints, they 
all requires the hint parameters to be `UnresolvedAttribute`, so if a string 
literal is passed as parameter, the `ResolveHints` rule will throw analysis 
exception anyway. Like I said in the comment, this behavior matches how `sql 
hint` is parsed.
