This commit modifies csv parser, a fork of golang csv
parser to support a custom quote escape character.
The quote escape character is used to escape the quote
character when a csv field contains a quote character
as part of data.
Queue output items and reuse them.
Remove the unneeded type system in sql and just use the Go type system.
In best case this is more than an order of magnitude speedup:

- Staging buffer is flushed every 500ms. In cases where the result
records are slowly generated (e.g. when a where condition
matches very few records), this change causes the server to send
results even though the staging buffer is not full.
- Refactor messageWriter code to use simpler channel based
co-ordination instead of atomic variables.
Batching records into a single SQL Select message in the response
leads to significant speed up as the message header overhead is made
negligible.
This change leads to a speed up of 3-5x for queries that select many
small records.
- New parser written from scratch, allows easier and complete parsing
of the full S3 Select SQL syntax. Parser definition is directly
provided by the AST defined for the SQL grammar.
- Bring support to parse and interpret SQL involving JSON path
expressions; evaluation of JSON path expressions will be
subsequently added.
- Bring automatic type inference and conversion for untyped
values (e.g. CSV data).
This PR implements one of the pending items in issue #6286
in S3 API a user can request CSV output for a JSON document
and a JSON output for a CSV document. This PR refactors
the code a little bit to bring this feature.
This improves the performance of certain queries dramatically,
such as 'count(*)' etc.
Without this PR
```
~ time mc select --query "select count(*) from S3Object" myminio/sjm-airlines/star2000.csv.gz
2173762
real 0m42.464s
user 0m0.071s
sys 0m0.010s
```
With this PR
```
~ time mc select --query "select count(*) from S3Object" myminio/sjm-airlines/star2000.csv.gz
2173762
real 0m17.603s
user 0m0.093s
sys 0m0.008s
```
Almost a 250% improvement in performance. This PR avoids a lot of type
conversions and instead relies on raw sequences of data and interprets
them lazily.
