9924: Implement dolt_global_tables system table

This adds support for a new system table, dolt_global_tables.

It has the following schema:
CREATE TABLE `dolt_global_tables` (
`table_name` varchar(65535) NOT NULL,
`target_ref` varchar(65535),
`ref_table` varchar(65535),
`options` varchar(65535),
PRIMARY KEY (`table_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_bin

It's purpose is to allow tables in one branch namespace to alias to tables in another ref, effectively simulating global tables if multiple "downstream" branches have dolt_global_tables point to the "upstream" table.

table_name can be a pattern just like the entries in the ignore_tables system table.

target_ref and ref_table, if null, are treated as the current branch and the input table name.

Currently options must equal "immediate", which means that writes to a global table are seen immediately by other branches. The behavior is identical to writing to another branch via a fully qualified db name.

This only effects name resolution during queries, and not other ways to interact with branches. This means that these tables are invisible to system procedures such as DOLT_ADD, just like if you tried to add a system table.

I would love to have improved error messaging when using global tables with DOLT_ADD, show tables, etc, but if the rest of the design is ready I can do that in a follow-up.
