DRILL-8121: Add UserSession to StoragePlugins
Description
One of the major limitations of Drill is that per-user credentials are not supported in non-Hadoop, or file system storage plugins. In conducting experiments, one of the major challenges preventing this was that there was no reliable way for a storage plugin to obtain the username of the user who submitted the query.
This PR represents the first step in making this possible by passing the UserSession object down to the storage plugin instance. Thus for each query, the storage plugin can obtain the active user id. This does not affect any current Drill behavior, but will make it possible to implement per-user credentials for plugins such as JDBC, Splunk, ElasticSearch and others that do not have the concept of user impersonation.
