IMPALA-8476: Replace Sentry admin check workaround with proper Sentry API

Impala uses a workaround to detect if a user is a Sentry admin by calling
the Sentry API to list privileges associated with the user since previously
Sentry did not provide a suitable API to peform this check.
This patch invokes a new API in SENTRY-2440 to perform the Sentry admin check.

Also modified test_sentry.py to exercise the code paths corresponding to the
following 3 different types of users: (i) a Sentry admin, (ii) an existing
user which is not a Sentry admin, and (iii) a non-existing user.

Testing:
1. Passed the tests in the revised test_sentry.py.

> Impala uses a workaround to detect if a user is a Sentry admin by calling list privileges API before Sentry didn't provide an API to tell if user is a Sentry admin: https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/d820952d86d34ba887c55a09e58b735cbef866c2/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/authorization/sentry/SentryProxy.java#L378-L393
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2440 supports a new API. We should update the Impala to use the new proper Sentry API.
