Description
We should be able to resolve a nested view. The main advantage is that if you update an underlying view, the current view also gets updated.
The new approach should be compatible with older versions of SPARK/HIVE, that means:
1. The new approach should be able to resolve the views that created by older versions of SPARK/HIVE;
2. The new approach should be able to resolve the views that are currently supported by SPARK SQL.
The new approach mainly brings in the following changes:
1. Add a new operator called `View` to keep track of the CatalogTable that describes the view, and the output attributes as well as the child of the view;
2. Update the `ResolveRelations` rule to resolve the relations and views, note that a nested view should be resolved correctly;
3. Add `AnalysisContext` to enable us to still support a view created with CTE/Windows query.
