[SPARK-14721][SQL] Remove HiveContext (part 2)

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This removes the class `HiveContext` itself along with all code usages associated with it. The bulk of the work was already done in #12485. This is mainly just code cleanup and actually removing the class.

Note: A couple of things will break after this patch. These will be fixed separately.
- the python HiveContext
- all the documentation / comments referencing HiveContext
- there will be no more HiveContext in the REPL (fixed by #12589)

## How was this patch tested?

No change in functionality.

Author: Andrew Or <andrew@databricks.com>

Closes #12585 from andrewor14/delete-hive-context.
