FILESET SQL syntax for dynamic partitions

A new SQL syntax allows specifying the dynamic list of partitions when running queries on dynamic partitioned files. The SQL grammar has been extended to support a new way of specifying the table name for SQL queries as follows:

table_ref ::

table_name [ AS ] [ alias [ ( column_alias [ , ... ] ) ] ]

| ( query_expression ) [ AS ] alias [ ( column_alias [ , ... ] ) ]

| [ ( ] joined_table [ ) ]

| FILESET(table_name [,"file_list"])[ AS ] [ alias [ ( column_alias [ , ... ] ) ] ]

If the same partitioned file is opened within two different FILESET lists, they are considered as separate files.
