IMPALA-1878: Support INSERT and LOAD DATA on S3 and between filesystems

Previously Impala disallowed LOAD DATA and INSERT on S3. This patch
functionally enables LOAD DATA and INSERT on S3 without making major
changes for the sake of improving performance over S3. This patch also
enables both INSERT and LOAD DATA between file systems.

S3 does not support the rename operation, so the staged files in S3
are copied instead of renamed, which contributes to the slow
performance on S3.

The FinalizeSuccessfulInsert() function now does not make any
underlying assumptions of the filesystem it is on and works across
all supported filesystems. This is done by adding a full URI field to
the base directory for a partition in the TInsertPartitionStatus.
Also, the HdfsOp class now does not assume a single filesystem and
gets connections to the filesystems based on the URI of the file it
is operating on.

Added a python S3 client called 'boto3' to access S3 from the python
tests. A new class called S3Client is introduced which creates
wrappers around the boto3 functions and have the same function
signatures as PyWebHdfsClient by deriving from a base abstract class
BaseFileSystem so that they can be interchangeably through a
'generic_client'. test_load.py is refactored to use this generic
client. The ImpalaTestSuite setup creates a client according to the
TARGET_FILESYSTEM environment variable and assigns it to the
'generic_client'.

P.S: Currently, the test_load.py runs 4x slower on S3 than on
HDFS. Performance needs to be improved in future patches. INSERT
performance is slower than on HDFS too. This is mainly because of an
extra copy that happens between staging and the final location of a
file. However, larger INSERTs come closer to HDFS permformance than
smaller inserts.

ACLs are not taken care of for S3 in this patch. It is something
that still needs to be discussed before implementing.
