[SPARK-5751] [SQL] [WIP] Revamped HiveThriftServer2Suite for robustness

**NOTICE** Do NOT merge this, as we're waiting for #3881 to be merged.

`HiveThriftServer2Suite` has been notorious for its flakiness for a while. This was mostly due to spawning and communicate with external server processes. This PR revamps this test suite for better robustness:

1. Fixes a racing condition occurred while using `tail -f` to check log file

   It's possible that the line we are looking for has already been printed into the log file before we start the `tail -f` process. This PR uses `tail -n +0 -f` to ensure all lines are checked.

2. Retries up to 3 times if the server fails to start

   In most of the cases, the server fails to start because of port conflict. This PR no longer asks the system to choose an available TCP port, but uses a random port first, and retries up to 3 times if the server fails to start.

3. A server instance is reused among all test cases within a single suite

   The original `HiveThriftServer2Suite` is splitted into two test suites, `HiveThriftBinaryServerSuite` and `HiveThriftHttpServerSuite`. Each suite starts a `HiveThriftServer2` instance and reuses it for all of its test cases.

**TODO**

- [ ] Starts the Thrift server in foreground once #3881 is merged (adding `--foreground` flag to `spark-daemon.sh`)
