[SPARK-16397][SQL][WIP] make CatalogTable more general and less hive
specific
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
`CatalogTable` is an internal interface to represent table metadata in
Spark SQL, and should be able to express both hive serde table and data source
table. Due to some hive hacks, data source table only use table properties to
store its information, and the `CatalogStorageFormat` is very hive specific as
it's only used by hive serde table currently.
However this is not a good design, the `CatalogTable` is not general enough
to express data source table if we remove hive hacks in the future.
This PR is trying to make `CatalogStorageFormat` general enough to handle
all types of tables in Spark SQL.
## How was this patch tested?
existing tests.
