[SPARK-57109][SQL] SYSTEM.SESSION should not be part of SYSTEM_PATH
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Remove `system.session` from the expansion of the `SYSTEM_PATH` virtual
schema in `SET PATH`.
- `SET PATH = SYSTEM_PATH` now expands to just `system.builtin` (the
system-managed namespaces under the `system` catalog).
- `DEFAULT_PATH` is unchanged: it still expands to `system.builtin`,
`system.session`, and the current schema (when `spark.sql.defaultPath` is
empty).
Mechanically this decouples `SQLConf.systemPathOrder` from
`SQLConf.defaultPathOrder` -- the former is now a fixed `[system.builtin]`,
while the latter still seeds both system entries plus any catalog entries. The
standalone-test fallback in
`SessionCatalog.sessionFunctionKindsInResolutionOrder` switches to
`defaultPathOrder(Seq.empty)` so unqualified temp functions remain resolvable
in tests with no `CatalogManager` bound.
Docs (`docs/sql-ref-syntax-aux-conf-mgmt-set-path.md`) and the SQL golden
test (`sql-path.sql`) are updated accordingly. A new `SET PATH = SYSTEM_PATH,
CURRENT_SCHEMA` example is added, since that combination is the canonical
"system functions plus my working schema" path.
### Why are the changes needed?
`SYSTEM_PATH` is meant to make access to system-managed objects easy and to
scale to additional system schemas in the future (e.g. `system.ai`,
`system.geo`, `system.ml`). The contents of `system.session`, however, are
user-defined (temporary views, functions, and variables), so it does not fit
that bucket. It also encourages users to qualify references to temporary
objects with `session.` so they cannot be silently confused with or shadowed by
persistent objects.
See [SPARK-57109](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-57109)
(subtask of [SPARK-54806](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-54806)).
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. `SET PATH = SYSTEM_PATH` previously expanded to two entries
(`system.builtin` and `system.session`); it now expands to one
(`system.builtin`). Users who relied on the old behavior should write `SET PATH
= SYSTEM_PATH, system.session, ...` or use `DEFAULT_PATH`, which is unchanged.
The feature is gated by `spark.sql.path.enabled` (default `false`) and has
only been available on master, so no released Spark version is affected.
### How was this patch tested?
- Updated/extended `SetPathSuite` to pin the new contracts:
- `SET PATH = SYSTEM_PATH` expands to exactly `[system.builtin]`.
- `SET PATH = DEFAULT_PATH` still includes `system.builtin`,
`system.session`, and the current schema.
- `SET PATH = SYSTEM_PATH, CURRENT_SCHEMA` composes to `[system.builtin,
current schema]`.
- Regenerated the `sql-path.sql` analyzer-results and results golden files;
added a `SYSTEM_PATH, CURRENT_SCHEMA` example to the input.
- Ran `SetPathSuite` (62/62), `SQLQueryTestSuite -- -z sql-path` (2/2),
`RelationQualificationSuite` + `FunctionQualificationSuite` (82/82),
`SessionCatalogSuite` (103/103), `CatalogManagerSuite` (16/16), `SQLViewSuite`
+ `SQLFunctionSuite` (70/70), and `SQLQueryTestSuite -- -z keywords` (6/6). All
passing locally.
