[SPARK-3791][SQL] Provides Spark version and Hive version in HiveThriftServer2

This PR overrides the `GetInfo` Hive Thrift API to provide correct version information. Another property `spark.sql.hive.version` is added to reveal the underlying Hive version. These are generally useful for Spark SQL ODBC driver providers. The Spark version information is extracted from the jar manifest. Also took the chance to remove the `SET -v` hack, which was a workaround for Simba ODBC driver connectivity.

TODO

- [x] Find a general way to figure out Hive (or even any dependency) version.

  This [blog post](http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2014/01/02/version-information-into-your-appas-with-maven/) suggests several methods to inspect application version. In the case of Spark, this can be tricky because the chosen method:

  1. must applies to both Maven build and SBT build

    For Maven builds, we can retrieve the version information from the META-INF/maven directory within the assembly jar. But this doesn't work for SBT builds.

  2. must not rely on the original jars of dependencies to extract specific dependency version, because Spark uses assembly jar.

    This implies we can't read Hive version from Hive jar files since standard Spark distribution doesn't include them.

  3. should play well with `SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES` to ease local testing during development.

     `SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES` prevents classes to be loaded from the assembly jar, thus we can't locate the jar file and read its manifest.

  Given these, maybe the only reliable method is to generate a source file containing version information at build time. pwendell Do you have any suggestions from the perspective of the build process?

**Update** Hive version is now retrieved from the newly introduced `HiveShim` object.
