Add a resource to the underlying Hive metastore for DDL operations
For example, if we do not use HiveClient to pass the `ADD JAR` command to
Hive metastore, we are unable to create the table. Thus, it sounds fine to put
`addJar` into `ExternalCatalog`.
```Scala
val testJar =
TestHive.getHiveFile("hive-hcatalog-core-0.13.1.jar").getCanonicalPath
sql(s"ADD JAR $testJar")
sql(
"""
|CREATE TABLE t1(a string, b string)
|ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'
""".stripMargin)
```
