What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This patch proposes to delete old Hive external partition directory even the partition does not exist in Hive, when insert overwrite Hive external table partition.

This is backport of #25979 to branch-2.4.

Why are the changes needed?

When insert overwrite to a Hive external table partition, if the partition does not exist, Hive will not check if the external partition directory exists or not before copying files. So if users drop the partition, and then do insert overwrite to the same partition, the partition will have both old and new data.

For example:

withSQLConf(HiveUtils.CONVERT_METASTORE_PARQUET.key -> "false") {
  // test is an external Hive table.
  sql("INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test PARTITION(name='n1') SELECT 1")
  sql("ALTER TABLE test DROP PARTITION(name='n1')")
  sql("INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test PARTITION(name='n1') SELECT 2")
  sql("SELECT id FROM test WHERE name = 'n1' ORDER BY id") // Got both 1 and 2.
}

Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?

Yes. This fix a correctness issue when users drop partition on a Hive external table partition and then insert overwrite it.

How was this patch tested?

Added test.

Thank you so much, @viirya !

// insert overwrite to the same partition, the partition will have both old and new
// data. We construct partition path. If the path exists, we delete it manually.
val partitionPath = if (oldPart.isEmpty && overwrite
&& table.tableType == CatalogTableType.EXTERNAL) {
