IMPALA-4000 added basic authorization support for Kudu tables, but it had several limitations: * Only the ALL privilege level can be granted to Kudu tables. (Finer-grained levels such as only SELECT or only INSERT are not supported.) * Column level permissions on Kudu tables are not supported. * Only users with ALL privileges on SERVER may create external Kudu tables. This patch relaxes the restrictions to allow: * Allow column-level permissions * Allow fine grained privileges SELECT and INSERT for those statement types. DELETE/UPDATE/UPSERT privileges now require ALL privileges because Sentry will eventually get fine grained privilege actions, and at that point Impala should support the more specific actions (IMPALA-3840). The assumption is that the Kudu table authorization support is currently so limited that most users are not using this functionality yet, but this is a behavior change that needs to be clearly stated in the Impala release notes. Testing: Adds FE and EE tests.
