[SPARK-2784][SQL] Deprecate hql() method in favor of a config option, 'spark.sql.dialect'

Many users have reported being confused by the distinction between the `sql` and `hql` methods.  Specifically, many users think that `sql(...)` cannot be used to read hive tables.  In this PR I introduce a new configuration option `spark.sql.dialect` that picks which dialect with be used for parsing.  For SQLContext this must be set to `sql`.  In `HiveContext` it defaults to `hiveql` but can also be set to `sql`.

The `hql` and `hiveql` methods continue to act the same but are now marked as deprecated.

**This is a possibly breaking change for some users unless they set the dialect manually, though this is unlikely.**

For example: `hiveContex.sql("SELECT 1")` will now throw a parsing exception by default.
