[SPARK-10845] [SQL] Makes spark.sql.hive.version a SQLConfEntry

When refactoring SQL options from plain strings to the strongly typed `SQLConfEntry`, `spark.sql.hive.version` wasn't migrated, and doesn't show up in the result of `SET -v`, as `SET -v` only shows public `SQLConfEntry` instances. This affects compatibility with Simba ODBC driver.

This PR migrates this SQL option as a `SQLConfEntry` to fix this issue.
