[SPARK-18389][SQL] Disallow cyclic view reference

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Disallow cyclic view references, a cyclic view reference may be created by the following queries:
```
CREATE VIEW testView AS SELECT id FROM tbl
CREATE VIEW testView2 AS SELECT id FROM testView
ALTER VIEW testView AS SELECT * FROM testView2
```
In the above example, a reference cycle (testView -> testView2 -> testView) exsits.

We disallow cyclic view references by checking that in ALTER VIEW command, when the `analyzedPlan` contains the same `View` node with the altered view, we should prevent the behavior and throw an AnalysisException.

## How was this patch tested?

Test by `SQLViewSuite.test("correctly handle a cyclic view reference")`.
