[DRAFT] [SPARK-53573][SQL] IDENTIFIER everywhere

[srielau]

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

We propose expanding the IDENTIFIER() clause which turns a string into a qualified identifier to all places identifeers can appear. The current clause is severely limited in where it can go because it accepts constant expressions, including session variables.
Due to that the existing clause reuqires tricky code to incrementally analyze its argumnets and then execute sectiosn of parser code at a later point.
By contrast the generalized IDENTIFIER clause only allows string literals which van be processed in the visitor methods.
Due to teh reowrk of paramermarkers and string coalescing thsi allows for constructs such as:

SELECT * FROM IDENTIFIER(:cat '.' :schema '.' :table)

it even allows:

SELECT 'hello' AS IDENTIFIER(:alias);

This is really all identifier() needs. We may be able to deprecate and de-support the existing too complex identifier() implementation.

Why are the changes needed?

IDENTIFIER() is a popular feature, but it can only be used in very specific, hard to reason about places.
The new implementation preserved 99% of teh fucntion while expanding its use to everywhere.
