This commit introduces a new ALTER RANGE RELOCATE
command, which will allow an admin to move a lease
or replica for a specific range. Unlike ALTER TABLE RELOCATE
this command works on a range_id, which makes it a lot easier
to use since the user does not have to worry about range keys, which
are difficult to deal with in an emergncy situation.
Release note (sql change): Introduce new SQL syntax ALTER RANGE RELOCATE
to move a lease or replica between stores. This is helpful in an emergency
situation to relocate data in the cluster.
