Peter Rozsa 1d05381b7b IMPALA-11745: Add Hive's ESRI geospatial functions as builtins
This change adds geospatial functions from Hive's ESRI library
as builtin UDFs. Plain Hive UDFs are imported without changes,
but the generic and varargs functions are handled differently;
generic functions are added with all of the combinations of
their parameters (cartesian product of the parameters), and
varargs functions are unfolded as an nth parameter simple
function. The varargs function wrappers are generated at build
time and they can be configured in
gen_geospatial_udf_wrappers.py. These additional steps are
required because of the limitations in Impala's UDF Executor
(lack of varargs support and only partial generics support)
which could be further improved; in this case, the additional
wrapping/mapping steps could be removed.

Changes regarding function handling/creating are sourced from
https://gerrit.cloudera.org/c/19177

A new backend flag was added to turn this feature on/off
as "geospatial_library". The default value is "NONE" which
means no geospatial function gets registered
as builtin, "HIVE_ESRI" value enables this implementation.

The ESRI geospatial implementation for Hive currently only
available in Hive 4, but CDP Hive backported it to Hive 3,
therefore for Apache Hive this feature is disabled
regardless of the "geospatial_library" flag.

Known limitations:
 - ST_MultiLineString, ST_MultiPolygon only works
   with the WKT overload
 - ST_Polygon supports a maximum of 6 pairs of coordinates
 - ST_MultiPoint, ST_LineString supports a maximum of 7
   pairs of coordinates
 - ST_ConvexHull, ST_Union supports a maximum of 6 geoms

These limits can be increased in gen_geospatial_udf_wrappers.py

Tests:
 - test_geospatial_udfs.py added based on
   https://github.com/Esri/spatial-framework-for-hadoop
