Currently, the CreateExternalTable::definition field is just a stringfied version of the statement. Its slightly awkward to have the definition not be the same as what a user provided.

Closes #12652
Rationale for this change
The CreateExternalTable::definition field isn't the same as what was provided to the SQL parser.
What changes are included in this PR?
This is a first draft at updating the CreateExternalTable::definition value to reflect what was provided.
Heads up, if folks are generally on board with the motivation here, I'm pretty sure we'll want to move the "render SQL between these two token indices" logic to live in the sqlparser crate. Here I've just implemented a less than optimal approach directly in
DFParserto sketch out that the idea is vaguely possible. If folks are on board with this, I'd be more than happy to split that out and provide a proper implementation in the sqlparser crate that this change could then use.Are these changes tested?
Yes-ish. I've updated the sql parser tests to match. Though there are tests in other parts of the project that are now failing after the change that I've not investigated. I'll obviously go chase down all those loose ends if/when there's consensus that this change is wanted at all.
Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes, though I expect a few requests for changes as I just wrote enough to show that it could work before polishing up into a complete PR.
datafusion_sql::parser::Statement::CreateExternalTablenow has anOption<String>element.I'm assuming the public enum change warrants the API change label, so I'll add that.
