[SPARK-23445] ColumnStat refactoring

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Refactor ColumnStat to be more flexible.

* Split `ColumnStat` and `CatalogColumnStat` just like `CatalogStatistics` is split from `Statistics`. This detaches how the statistics are stored from how they are processed in the query plan. `CatalogColumnStat` keeps `min` and `max` as `String`, making it not depend on dataType information.
* For `CatalogColumnStat`, parse column names from property names in the metastore (`KEY_VERSION` property), not from metastore schema. This means that `CatalogColumnStat`s can be created for columns even if the schema itself is not stored in the metastore.
* Make all fields optional. `min`, `max` and `histogram` for columns were optional already. Having them all optional is more consistent, and gives flexibility to e.g. drop some of the fields through transformations if they are difficult / impossible to calculate.

The added flexibility will make it possible to have alternative implementations for stats, and separates stats collection from stats and estimation processing in plans.

## How was this patch tested?

Refactored existing tests to work with refactored `ColumnStat` and `CatalogColumnStat`.
New tests added in `StatisticsSuite` checking that backwards / forwards compatibility is not broken.
