DRILL-7258: Remove field width limit for text reader

The V2 text reader enforced a limit of 64K characters when using
column headers, but not when using the columns[] array. The V3 reader
enforced the 64K limit in both cases.

This patch removes the limit in both cases. The limit now is the
16MB vector size limit. With headers, no one column can exceed 16MB.
With the columns[] array, no one row can exceed 16MB. (The 16MB
limit is set by the Netty memory allocator.)

Added an "appendBytes()" method to the scalar column writer which adds
additional bytes to those already written for a specific column or
array element value. The method is implemented for VarChar, Var16Char
 and VarBinary vectors. It throws an exception for all other types.

When used with a type conversion shim, the appendBytes() method throws
an exception. This should be OK because, the previous setBytes() should
have failed because a huge value is not acceptable for numeric or date
types conversions.

Added unit tests of the append feature, and for the append feature in
the batch overflow case (when appending bytes causes the vector or
batch to overflow.) Also added tests to verify the lack of column width
limit with the text reader, both with and without headers.

Export Control

This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See http://www.wassenaar.org/ for more information.
The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code. The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software: Java SE Security packages are used to provide support for authentication, authorization and secure sockets communication. The Jetty Web Server is used to provide communication via HTTPS. The Cyrus SASL libraries, Kerberos Libraries and OpenSSL Libraries are used to provide SASL based authentication and SSL communication.
