## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

un-aliased subquery is supported by Spark SQL for a long time. Its semantic was not well defined and had confusing behaviors, and it's not a standard SQL syntax, so we disallowed it in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20690 .

However, this is a breaking change, and we do have existing queries using un-aliased subquery. We should add the support back and fix its semantic.

This PR fixes the un-aliased subquery by assigning a default alias name.

After this PR, there is no syntax change from branch 2.2 to master, but we invalid a weird use case:
`SELECT v.i from (SELECT i FROM v)`. Now this query will throw analysis exception because users should not be able to use the qualifier inside a subquery.

## How was this patch tested?

new regression test
