[SPARK-17186][SQL] remove catalog table type INDEX
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Actually Spark SQL doesn't support index, the catalog table type `INDEX` is from Hive. However, most operations in Spark SQL can't handle index table, e.g. create table, alter table, etc.
Logically index table should be invisible to end users, and Hive also generates special table name for index table to avoid users accessing it directly. Hive has special SQL syntax to create/show/drop index tables.
At Spark SQL side, although we can describe index table directly, but the result is unreadable, we should use the dedicated SQL syntax to do it(e.g. `SHOW INDEX ON tbl`). Spark SQL can also read index table directly, but the result is always empty.(Can hive read index table directly?)
This PR remove the table type `INDEX`, to make it clear that Spark SQL doesn't support index currently.
## How was this patch tested?
existing tests.
