John Russell 8377b9949c Global search/replace: audience="Cloudera" -> audience="hidden".
For this change to land in master, the audience="hidden" code review
needs to be completed first. Otherwise, the doc build would still work
but the audience="hidden" content would be visible rather than hidden as
desired.

Some work happening in parallel might introduce additional instances of
audience="Cloudera". I suggest addressing those in a followup CR so this
global change can land quickly.

Since the changes apply across so many different files, but are so
narrow in scope, I suggest that the way to validate (check that no
extraneous changes were introduced accidentally) is to diff just the
changed lines:

git diff -U0 HEAD^ HEAD

In patch set 2, I updated other topics marked audience="Cloudera"
by CRs that were pushed in the meantime.

Impala supports the familiar styles of SQL comments:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
All text from a <codeph>--</codeph> sequence to the end of the line is considered a comment and ignored.
This type of comment can occur on a single line by itself, or after all or part of a statement.
</li>
<li>
All text from a <codeph>/*</codeph> sequence to the next <codeph>*/</codeph> sequence is considered a
comment and ignored. This type of comment can stretch over multiple lines. This type of comment can occur
on one or more lines by itself, in the middle of a statement, or before or after a statement.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<codeblock>-- This line is a comment about a table.
create table ...;
/*
This is a multi-line comment about a query.
*/
select ...;
select * from t /* This is an embedded comment about a query. */ where ...;
select * from t -- This is a trailing comment within a multi-line command.
where ...;
</codeblock>
</conbody>
