[SPARK-17234][SQL] Table Existence Checking when Index Table with the Same Name Exists

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Hive Index tables are not supported by Spark SQL. Thus, we issue an exception when users try to access Hive Index tables. When the internal function `tableExists` tries to access Hive Index tables, it always gets the same error message: ```Hive index table is not supported```. This message could be confusing to users, since their SQL operations could be completely unrelated to Hive Index tables. For example, when users try to alter a table to a new name and there exists an index table with the same name, the expected exception should be a `TableAlreadyExistsException`.

This PR made the following changes:
- Introduced a new `AnalysisException` type: `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`. When users try to access an `Index Table`, we will issue a `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`.
- `tableExists` returns `true` when hitting a `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException` and the feature is `Hive index table`.
- Add a checking `requireTableNotExists` for `SessionCatalog`'s `createTable` API; otherwise, the current implementation relies on the Hive's internal checking.

### How was this patch tested?
