What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This patch proposes to preserve existing permission/acls of paths when truncate table/partition.
Note that this is backport of #26956 to branch-2.4.
Why are the changes needed?
When Spark SQL truncates table, it deletes the paths of table/partitions, then re-create new ones. If permission/acls were set on the paths, the existing permission/acls will be deleted.
We should preserve the permission/acls if possible.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes. When truncate table/partition, Spark will keep permission/acls of paths.
How was this patch tested?
Unit test and manual test as shown in #26956.
