[SPARK-19329][SQL] Reading from or writing to a datasource table with a non pre-existing location should succeed

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

when we insert data into a datasource table use `sqlText`, and the table has an not exists location,
this will throw an Exception.

example:

```
spark.sql("create table t(a string, b int) using parquet")
spark.sql("alter table t set location '/xx'")
spark.sql("insert into table t select 'c', 1")
```

Exception:
```

As discussed following comments, we should unify the action when we reading from or writing to a datasource table with a non pre-existing locaiton:

1. reading from a datasource table: return 0 rows
2. writing to a datasource table:  write data successfully

## How was this patch tested?
