Previously, parsing an arithmetic expression with `*` and no spaces,
e.g.: `2*i` threw a parsing exception as the grammar rule for
tableIdentifier was clashing with the rule for arithmetic operator `*`.
This issue comes already in the lexer and the left part of the
expression (in our example `2*`) was recognised as a
TABLE_IDENTIFIER token.
The solution adopted is to allow the `*` wildcard in the table name
only if it's surrounded with double quotes, e.g.: `"my*index"`
Closes: #33957
Extend SHOW TABLES, DESCRIBE and SHOW COLUMNS to support table
identifiers not just SQL LIKE pattern.
This allows both Elasticsearch-style multi-index patterns and SQL LIKE.
To disambiguate between the two (as the " vs ' can be easy to miss),
the grammar now requires LIKE keyword as a prefix for all LIKE-like
patterns.
Also added some docs comparing the two types of patterns.
