[SPARK-14128][SQL] Alter table DDL followup
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This is just a followup to #12121, which implemented the alter table DDLs
using the `SessionCatalog`. Specially, this corrects the behavior of setting
the location of a datasource table. For datasource tables, we need to set the
`locationUri` in addition to the `path` entry in the serde properties.
Additionally, changing the location of a datasource table partition is not
allowed.
## How was this patch tested?
`DDLSuite`
