[SPAKR-16004] [SQL] improve the disply of CatalogTable information ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? A few issues found when running "describe extended | formatted [tableName]" command: 1. The last access time is incorrectly displayed something like "Last Access Time: |Wed Dec 31 15:59:59 PST 1969", I think we should display as "UNKNOWN" as Hive does; 2. Owner is always empty, instead of the current login user, who creates the table; 3. Comments fields display "null" instead of empty string when commend is None; ## How was this patch tested? Currently, I have manually tested them - it is very straight-forward to test, but hard to write test cases for them.
