SPARK-3096: Include parquet hive serde by default in build

[SPARK-3084] [SQL] Collect broadcasted tables in parallel in joins

BroadcastHashJoin has a broadcastFuture variable that tries to collect
the broadcasted table in a separate thread, but this doesn't help
because it's a lazy val that only gets initialized when you attempt to
build the RDD. Thus queries that broadcast multiple tables would collect
and broadcast them sequentially. I changed this to a val to let it start
collecting right when the operator is created.

[SPARK-3085] [SQL] Use compact data structures in SQL joins

This reuses the CompactBuffer from Spark Core to save memory and pointer
dereferences. I also tried AppendOnlyMap instead of java.util.HashMap
but unfortunately that slows things down because it seems to do more
equals() calls and the equals on GenericRow, and especially JoinedRow,
is pretty expensive.

[SPARK-3091] [SQL] Add support for caching metadata on Parquet files

For larger Parquet files, reading the file footers (which is done in parallel on up to 5 threads) and HDFS block locations (which is serial) can take multiple seconds. We can add an option to cache this data within FilteringParquetInputFormat. Unfortunately ParquetInputFormat only caches footers within each instance of ParquetInputFormat, not across them.

Note: this PR leaves this turned off by default for 1.1, but I believe it's safe to turn it on after. The keys in the hash maps are FileStatus objects that include a modification time, so this will work fine if files are modified. The location cache could become invalid if files have moved within HDFS, but that's rare so I just made it invalidate entries every 15 minutes.

This PR adds an experimental flag `spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet` that when true causes the planner to detects tables that use Hive's Parquet SerDe and instead plans them using Spark SQL's native `ParquetTableScan`.

[SPARK-2718] [yarn] Handle quotes and other characters in user args.

Due to the way Yarn runs things through bash, normal quoting doesn't
work as expected. This change applies the necessary voodoo to the user
args to avoid issues with bash and special characters.

The change also uncovered an issue with the event logger app name
sanitizing code; it wasn't cleaning up all "bad" characters, so
sometimes it would fail to create the log dirs. I just added some
more bad character replacements.
