Joe McDonnell 97856478ec IMPALA-10198 (part 1): Unify Java in a single java/ directory
This changes all existing Java code to be submodules under
a single root pom. The root pom is impala-parent/pom.xml
with minor changes to add submodules.

This avoids most of the weird CMake/maven interactions,
because there is now a single maven invocation for all
the Java code.

This moves all the Java projects other than fe into
a top level java directory. fe is left where it is
to avoid disruption (but still is compiled via the
java directory's root pom). Various pieces of code
that reference the old locations are updated.

Based on research, there are two options for dealing
with the shaded dependencies. The first is to have an
entirely separate Maven project with a separate Maven
invocation. In this case, the consumers of the shaded
jars will see the reduced set of transitive dependencies.
The second is to have the shaded dependencies as modules
with a single Maven invocation. The consumer would see
all of the original transitive dependencies and need to
exclude them all. See MSHADE-206/MNG-5899. This chooses
the second.

This only moves code around and does not focus on version
numbers or making "mvn versions:set" work.

Testing:
 - Ran a core job
 - Verified existing maven commands from fe/ directory still work
 - Compared the *-classpath.txt files from fe and executor-deps
   and verified they are the same except for paths

This is a tool to convert a nested dataset to an unnested dataset. The source and/or
destination can be the local file system or HDFS.

Structs get converted to a column (with a long name). Arrays and Maps get converted to
a table which can be joined with the parent table on id column.

$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
    -Dexec.arguments="file:///tmp/in.parquet,file:///tmp/out,-sfile:///tmp/in.avsc"

$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
    -Dexec.arguments="hdfs://localhost:20500/nested.avro,file://$PWD/unnested"

There are various options to specify the type of input file but the output is always
parquet/snappy.

For additional help, use the following command:
$ mvn exec:java \
    -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main -Dexec.arguments="--help"

This is used by testdata/bin/generate-load-nested.sh.
