Joe McDonnell 451543a2e5 IMPALA-11785: Warn if Thrift fastbinary is not working for impala-shell
Thrift's fastbinary module provides native code that
accelerations the BinaryProtocol. It can make a large
performance difference when using the Hiveserver2
protocol with impala-shell. If the fastbinary is not
working, it silently falls back to interpreted code.
This can happen because the fastbinary couldn't load
a particular library, etc.

This adds a warning on impala-shell startup when
it detects that Thrift's fastbinary is not working.

When bin/impala-shell.sh is modified to use python3,
impala-shell outputs this error (shortened for legibility):
WARNING: Failed to load Thrift's fastbinary module. Thrift's
BinaryProtocol will not be accelerated, which can reduce performance.
Error was '{path to Python2 thrift fastbinary.so}: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct'

Testing:
 - Added a simple test that verifies the impala-shell
   does not output the warning
 - Outputs warning when Python 2 thrift used for Python 3 shell
