Description

Add HTTP as endpoint option for HiveServer2. This supports environments for which TCP connectivity is inconvenient or impossible. One key scenario is beeline connecting to a HTTPS proxy/gateway which forwards to HS2-HTTP.
Due to the proxy/gateway scenario being most secure, support for HS2 HTTPS has not been added.

new behavior:
new configuration options to use HTTP server mode rather than TCP
http mode uses Jetty server/servlets
new beeline client URI parsing and HTTP transport behavior.

Usage:
(1) TCP-mode: beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2://<server>:<port>/ user password

(2) HTTP-mode: beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2:http://<server>:<port>/path/../ user password

(3) via HTTPS proxy: beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2:https://<server>:<port>/path/../ user password
